Fishing Description:

Shawano Lake is managed as a warm water fishery. The primary gamefish species are northern pike, largemouth bass, and walleye. The predominate panfish are bluegill, black crappie, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. Good natural reproduction supports this fine fishery. Over the last ten years a musky population has been established and is maintained by annual stocking. A walleye spawning reef was developed on Shawano Lake in the mid 1980's. Annual fall electrofishing survey's are done on the lake to monitor the reproduction success of walleye and largemouth bass with periodic spring fyke netting surveys conducted to monitor the overall fishery.
