Green Lake

Anglers know Green Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Wisconsin, United States. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Green Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
