Fish species in Wilkerson Lake

Washburn County is home to Wilkerson Lake, a mapped lake and the basic lake data comes in at about 108 acres and a maximum depth of 8 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

The species on record

For fishing, the current record for Wilkerson Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and stick with what produces signs of life.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Wilkerson Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
