Zander Lake

Green County is home to Zander Lake, a mapped lake and the best numbers we have right now are about 14 acres and a maximum depth of 8 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

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 working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

The species on record

For fishing, the current record for Zander Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Zander Lake, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
