quote brux: "I've been to Bench. It's technically a designated trout lake and has been socked with Brookies by the DNR in the past (last shown was 2014).
It has a non maintained portage trail that's not too difficult to follow and it's a pretty little lake. It was a fall trip and the fishing was completely turned off after a cold front, so I can't say if there's anything in there or not."
Thanks brux, I guess maybe I need to check stocking reports instead of survey's on these lakes. Thanks again
