  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Waushara County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, bluegill, largemouth bass and northern pike among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Bullhead Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

Time your trip to Bullhead Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Reeder Lake is 0.3 miles off.
