Fishing Presque Isle Lake: what the data says
35-acre lake near T9 R3 WELS. The lake tops out around 3 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Brook Trout fishing at Presque Isle Lake
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 1 to 3 ft that time of year. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 ft, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
