Upper Kimball Lake

On the map, Upper Kimball Lake shows up as a lake in Washburn County and the numbers attached to this water are about 42 acres and a maximum depth of 11 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

What the numbers tell you

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by checking shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Fish recorded in this water

The species record attached to Upper Kimball Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Upper Kimball Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
