The fish record for Potato Creek Flowage needs better exact-water evidence; so if a certain species is the whole reason for the trip, i would verify it with a current exact-water source first, and without making the day more complicated than it needs to be.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Potato Creek Flowage tomorrow, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
