On this full-day trip, you'll have the chance to try out various fishing techniques. We'll start with some trolling, dragging lures behind the boat to cover more water and entice those deeper-dwelling fish. As we locate active areas, we'll switch to casting, using both live bait and artificial lures. For the bass lovers, we might do some flipping and pitching around shoreline structure. If the pan fish are calling your name, we'll break out the ultralight gear for some finesse fishing that's sure to fill the livewell.

Largemouth Bass: The king of Stylus Lake, these hard-fighting fish are a favorite among our anglers. They love to hang out near underwater structure and weed beds, making for exciting topwater action in the early morning and late evening. Largemouth here can grow up to 8 pounds, giving you a real battle when they strike. Spring and early summer are prime times for bass, but they're active all season long.
Northern Pike: These toothy predators are the thrill-seekers' choice. Pike in Stylus Lake are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. They prefer cooler water, so early spring and late fall are your best bets for hooking into a big one. We've seen pike over 30 inches pulled from these waters, so hang on tight when you feel that hit!
Bluegill: Don't let their size fool you – these scrappy little fighters are a blast to catch, especially on light tackle. Bluegill are abundant in Stylus Lake, making them perfect for introducing kids to fishing or for those who just want constant action. They're active all summer long, and their tasty fillets make for a great shore lunch.
Crappie: These popular panfish are known for their delicate bite and delicious meat. Stylus Lake has a healthy population of both black and white crappie. They school up, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Spring is the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn.
Walleye: While not as common as some other species, walleye in Stylus Lake are a prized catch. These elusive fish are most active during low light conditions, so early morning and evening are prime times. Their flaky white meat makes them a favorite for the dinner table. Fall is usually the best season for walleye fishing here.
