Fish species in Ole Lake

Ole Lake is a named lake in Washburn County and the numbers attached to this water are about 48 acres and a maximum depth of 33 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

Recorded fish species

On the species side, Ole Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.

My basic approach

If we were fishing Ole Lake together, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
