Fish species in Stump Lake

Stump Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Barron County and the best numbers we have right now are about 108 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by working shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Stump Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Stump Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
