This is a summary based on available information.

As part of the Moen Chain, Fourth Lake offers multi‑species fishing for walleyes, muskies, pike, bass, and panfish in a shallow, structure‑rich environment. Anglers typically target weedlines, points, and channels between basins, casting jigs, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits that work well in moderate clarity. Because depths are modest, fish behavior is strongly influenced by weed growth and wind direction. Many anglers treat Fourth as one stop in a day of chain‑hopping, working different lakes to follow fish movements.
