Question 1

What do you need to know about Petenwell Lake?

Accepted Answer

Petenwell Lake is Wisconsin’s second largest inland lake behind Lake Winnebago. It covers over 23,000 acres and is man-made with a max depth of only 42 feet. Walleyes are plentiful in this lake and can be found around deepwater structure. Look for schools of baitfish near these structures to increase your chance of success. Classic methods like jigging, the use of Lindy rigs, and deep diving crankbaits are highly recommended. If this doesn’t work, look shallower or even try casting the shoreline with a shallower version of the same crankbait. Muskie and northern are abundant on Petenwell. Fishing near shallow logs and trees with bucktails and top waters are going to work great. Because of the shallow nature of the lake, fishing wind-swept rocky points with jerkbaits can also bring great success to your day on the water.
