Otis Lake

This Grant County water is Otis Lake, a lake with the available water data listing no dependable acreage or maximum-depth figure in the current record, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

Start with the basics

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and I would start where I can clearly see or understand a few easy-to-read spots that give me different depths or kinds of cover and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

What you can fish for

At the moment, Otis Lake does not have enough species data for a trustworthy fishing list; that means i would check current dnr lake information before buying bait for one particular fish, and before i start chasing random reports.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Otis Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
