Pond Lake

Pond Lake is a named lake in Price County and the numbers attached to this water are about 55 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, so you can get the scale of the place before you ever make a cast.

A quick look at the water

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 before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.

Recorded fish species

On the species side, Pond Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so the first fishing plan would include weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and keep the rest of the day loose.

My basic approach

If we were fishing Pond 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 still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
