• Where to Fish on Myrick Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Burnett County: brown trout, northern pike, largemouth bass and bluegill.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Burnett County Forest covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Johnson Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow.
