OJ gave you the best advice. Good Luck!

Hey Pete WI DNR lists over 20 Beaver Lakes and another dozen or so with Beaver in the name. If you can be more specific we might be able to help.

Get the Fishing Hot Spots Map. It as both Big and Little St. Germaine.

WI DNR says there are 2 Long Lakes in Washburn Cty. One is 83 acres the other is 3478 acres.
It's a pretty big lake so as OJ said,"you had better be familiar with the lake" Good Luck. Get a HOT SPOTS Map for it.
From the DNR. . . Long Lake is a 3478 acre lake located in Washburn County. It has a maximum depth of 74 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from public boat landings. Fish include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The lake's water clarity is low.
Northern Pike (Abundant)
Panfish (Common)
Largemouth Bass (Common)
Walleye (Common)
Smallmouth Bass (Present)

Thanks everybody. It was great. Got away with my wife for the weekend of sightseeing and eating. Spent Friday evening in the hotel room with some good scotch a big pizza and the Packers game. GoPackGo!

Also better to eat a smaller bass, walleye, etc., than an older one.

It's safest to eat panfish since they don't live long enough to collect and store the pollutants. Fish like big cats which live a long time digging around in the sediment where the "stuff" is and store it in their fat, are definitely off my menu.

Must've been great fun and a great memory too.

If you are staying at a Lodge/Resort/Outfitter , ask them. They will know. Probly the same as any walleye fishing, live bait dragged on the bottom or trolling diving cranks. Hope you have good weather. Good luck.

A little extra info

On July 21, 2022, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature placed the migratory monarch butterfly on its Red List of threatened species and classified it as endangered. Monarchs migrate across North America each year and are one of the continent’s most widely recognized species.

Common Milkweed - USDA Forest Service
It is a widespread and somewhat weedy species known from most of the eastern United States and the eastern most prairie states as well as southern Canada from New Brunswick to Saskatchewan. It is frequently found in fence rows, on roadsides, in fields, and in prairies and pastures.

Really nice picture Gordon and I know being there was better than the pic.

Good thoughts, Good deeds, Good fishing!

If it's the Eagle Springs Lake in Walworth/Waukesha County then the DNR says there are panfish, large mouth bass and northern pike. At 279 acres and max 8' deep I would expect it to be pretty weedy at this time of year.

Thanks Gordon, nice video. It's interesting to think that they not only need the milkweed patch in our yards but need a CONNECTED path through their whole migration.

Maybe a drop shot would work for deeper spots. The lakes I fish are mostly too weedy for drop shot. Berkley makes a small floating POWERBAIT sort of creature called the Water Bug that's promising.
