Schwietzer Pond

Schwietzer Pond is a lake in Washington County and the current record puts it at about 3 acres; a dependable maximum depth is not in the current record, which helps keep the first trip simple instead of turning it into a giant guessing game.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with a short rotation through the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.

What swims here

I do not have enough solid fish data for Schwietzer Pond to name a target with confidence; that may be less exciting, but it is a lot more useful than bad information, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Schwietzer Pond, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
