Fish species in Quill Lake

If you are looking at Quill Lake, you are looking at a Oconto County lake and the physical record currently shows about 21 acres and a maximum depth of 30 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would make the opening plan about the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.

The fishery on paper

Recorded species at Quill Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.

My game plan

If I had a few hours to figure out Quill Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
