Anglers enjoy Potato Lake's offerings, especially those wanting to catch the Wisconsin
muskellunge, also known as the musky. The musky is highly prized, so much so, that in 1955 it was officially named the state fish of Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has named Potato Lake as one of the state's class A1 musky waters, which means that the lake may harbor trophy-sized muskellunge. The minimum length requirement for a legally caught musky on Potato Lake is 40 inches. Other fish in Potato Lake include panfish such as
bluegill,
crappies,
pumpkinseed sunfish, and
perch; and game fish such as
largemouth bass,
smallmouth bass,
northern pike, and
walleye. If anglers are fishing for walleye on Potato Lake, they must abide by the Ceded Territory bag limit of 3 walleye per licensed fisherman rather than the 5 walleye bag limit on non-Ceded Territory lakes. == References ==
