Mortenson Pond

Mortenson Pond is a named lake in Dane County with the water profile currently listing about 11 acres; a dependable maximum depth is not in the current record, which gives you a decent picture of what kind of day on the water you are planning.

A quick look at the water

I would keep the first trip pretty simple by working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.

Recorded fish species

The fish side of the Mortenson Pond record is still thin; until we have better data, i would keep species claims off the page, and instead of guessing at a totally different kind of fishing.

My basic approach

If we were fishing Mortenson Pond together, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
