Fish species in Stewart Lake 2

If you are looking at Stewart Lake 2, you are looking at a Dane County reservoir with the available water data listing about 6 acres and a maximum depth of 12 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before making the day harder than it needs to be.

The fishery on paper

Recorded species at Stewart Lake 2 include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.

My game plan

If I had a few hours to figure out Stewart Lake 2, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
