Its in our DNA.Its been a big part of Wandawega since they broke ground a century ago. (And why we have lures in the store, made our own tackle boxes, keep the souvenir machine stocked with bobbers, the bait canteen full of night crawlers. (Youll even find a bass on our neck ties). The DNR reported that Lake Wandawega Is one of the healthiest in the state. Due to minimal agricultural runoff, few lakefront homes, and low motorboat traffic, the ecosystem thrives and provides for a healthy variety of fish.Here, we have mainly Large Mouth Bass, Northern Pike and a variety of panfish/bluegill/sunfish.We encourage folks to experience it, which is why we made our own Lake Wandawega fishing guide. (Campers will find them on the clipboards in their cabins).From the DNR:WHAT MAKES A HEALTHY LAKE?An extremely clear lake may lack the plant life needed to support a robust fishery. Ecologically balanced lakes are more important: those with a healthy mix of native plants, forested shores, minimum runoff coming into them, a good fishery and diverse wildlife. This is why Lake Wandawega (at its little 120 Acres) is ranked on The list of WISCONSINS HEALTHIEST LAKES (Selected by Wisconsin DNR lake experts)STATS:Wisconsin ranks No. 2 nationally in the number of days of fishing by nonresidents and the number of non- resident anglers nearly 400,000. Only Florida ranks higher and it has an ocean! Some 1.4 million licensed anglers fished Wisconsin waters in 2008, catching an estimated 88 million fish. The most frequently caught: panfish, bass, walleye, northern pike, trout, catfish and muskie. In all, 165 species are found in the state. -Milwaukee Magazine July 2009….Some pics by our friends including @bobcoscarelli & @nathanbobey @prezpipe
