Fish species in Upper Lake

Upper Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Marinette County with the available record putting it at about 15 acres and a maximum depth of 18 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Upper Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include 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.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Upper 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.
