Spring Pond

This Forest County water is Spring Pond, a lake and the published measurements are about 2 acres and a maximum depth of 4 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

Start with the basics

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with the first real effort focused on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.

What you can fish for

At the moment, Spring Pond does not have enough species data for a trustworthy fishing list; that keeps the page honest, even if it means there is less to say right now, and and let the water decide whether that plan holds up.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Spring Pond, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
