Fish in the current inventory

For Stepping Stone Lake Number 1, the fish list currently 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 keep the day practical and easy to change.

A no-nonsense way to start

If I were taking a friend to Stepping Stone Lake Number 1, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
