If you are looking at Turtle Lake, you are looking at a Portage County lake and the numbers attached to this water are about 13 acres and a maximum depth of 9 feet, so the size of the job is pretty easy to understand before you go.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.

The fishery on paper

I am leaving the fish list for Turtle Lake alone until there is better exact-water evidence; i would treat the fishery as unconfirmed until better exact-water information turns up, and and adjust only after the lake gives me a reason.

My game plan

If I had a few hours to figure out Turtle Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
