Phillips Lake

Phillips Lake is a lake in Marinette County and the published measurements are about 12 acres and a maximum depth of 25 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with the first real effort focused on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.

What swims here

I do not have enough solid fish data for Phillips Lake to name a target with confidence; that keeps the page honest, even if it means there is less to say right now, and and let the water decide whether that plan holds up.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Phillips Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
