• Where to Fish on Peoga Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open biodiversity records for Brown County list bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish, longear sunfish and white crappie. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Peoga Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 74°F for July and 27°F for January. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Peoga Lake. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Dearmin Lake, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Peoga Lake.
