Target species

Species from state lake data, resolved by location. These species come from the Wisconsin DNR's own per-lake fish listing. Where the DNR reports a group rather than a species — “panfish”, “catfish”, “trout” — the specific species are resolved from Wisconsin's fish distribution by this lake's location, depth and habitat, so those are an informed estimate, not a per-species survey. The named gamefish (walleye, musky, bass, pike, sturgeon…) are the DNR's own listing. (The depth chart is a computer-generated estimate from the lake's real shoreline and the DNR's maximum depth — not measured contours.) How we estimate species →

Hatch outlook

Fall shiner runActive window

Typical here: Sep 1 – Oct 31 · colder nights and shortening days start the push in early September — shiners slide out of open water toward warmer shallows and run up the rivers; the Rainy River run off Lake of the Woods is the marquee version

adultdaylight for the jig bite; after dark the shiners stack under dock lights with walleyes and pike mixed right in — follow the bait, not the spot — millions of shiners move together and the predators ride with them; silver profile and flash matter

Concentrates hard but travels — the school (and the walleyes under it) can be off a river mouth one week and miles upriver the next.

Jig-and-minnow is the event's signature — a frozen emerald shiner on a 1/4 oz jig drifted along the run; silver jerkbaits and trolled crankbaits take the roaming fish; blade baits under the schools.

The event happens over river mouths and the first miles upriver, warming shallow shorelines, and rocky points where the displaced bait stacks

Fishing Roxy Pond: what the data says

14-acre pond in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 3 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:

Traced from the shoreline, Roxy Pond runs 14 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. The water lies in Waukesha County. For a second option, Wood Lake lies 1 mi southeast.

Northern Pike fishing at Roxy Pond

Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 1 to 3 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 3 ft covers summer, 1 to 3 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 1 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	1 to 3 ft	midday & dawn	open water	#5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white)
Summer	1 to 3 ft	dawn & dusk	Break off the point (1 ft)	Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage
Fall	1 to 3 ft	midday & dawn	Break off the point (1 ft)	Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait
Winter	1 to 3 ft	midday	Main-lake point (3 ft)	Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon

Largemouth Bass fishing at Roxy Pond

The spring pattern is a shallow one: largemouth bass in 1 to 3 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3 ft through summer, 1 to 3 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 3 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait gets it done.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	1 to 3 ft	dawn & dusk	Main-lake point (3 ft)	Spinnerbait, Chatterbait
Summer	1 to 3 ft	dawn & dusk	Break off the point (1 ft)	Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait
Fall	1 to 3 ft	midday & dawn	Main-lake point (3 ft)	Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait
Winter	1 to 3 ft	midday	Break off the point (1 ft)	Blade bait, Jigging spoon
