Washington Creek Flowage

Rusk County is home to Washington Creek Flowage, a mapped reservoir with the latest inventory showing about 61 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.

The species on record

I cannot give you a trustworthy species list for Washington Creek Flowage from the current data; that keeps the page honest, even if it means there is less to say right now, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Washington Creek Flowage, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
