Snort Lake

Snort Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Vilas County with the current inventory showing about 24 acres and a maximum depth of 30 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

The lake itself

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Snort Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Snort Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
