Munger Lake

Among the waters in Oconto County, Munger Lake is listed as a lake with published numbers of about 89 acres and a maximum depth of 19 feet, so you know roughly what you are getting into before loading the boat or walking the bank.

A plain-English look at the water

My first day here would stay uncomplicated by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

What the fish list tells you

The exact-water list for Munger Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

Where I would start

If I had never seen Munger Lake before, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
