Fish species in Stoughton Millpond 429

This Dane County water is Stoughton Millpond 429, a reservoir with the available record putting it at about 10 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.

What you can fish for

For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Stoughton Millpond 429, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
