  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Waushara County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, bluegill, largemouth bass and northern pike among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Pumpkin Seed Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Horsehead Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Pumpkin Seed Lake is worth confirming on the day.
