South Lutzke Lake

If you are looking at South Lutzke Lake, you are looking at a Manitowoc County lake with the available record putting it at about 3 acres and a maximum depth of 3 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

Size, depth, and the lay of the lake

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

The fishery on paper

I am leaving the fish list for South Lutzke Lake alone until there is better exact-water evidence; for a first visit, i would keep the tackle flexible and avoid building the whole day around one species, and and keep everything else in reserve until i need it.

My game plan

If I had a few hours to figure out South Lutzke Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
