  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Burnett County list brown trout, northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegill and pumpkinseed. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Phernetton Lake is 0.4 miles distant. Confirm before you fish Lost Lake.
