Actually the 3/16 does logs fine.

Sure better than 0.090 or 0.100.

Went fishing once in a tin can on a lake in the middle of Wisconsin,
Tomahawk I think. Found a large bay, and said this water does not look
right and slowed down. I was right, found out later why too. In the
winter if it freezes they dump stumps and logs into it for bass and it
would be like a mine field if you hit that with much more than adrift
speed.

If it freezes? This the tomahawk lake near rhinelander? No "if"
involved. And I figure the logs are left over from the logging era, but
maybe they dump them in also.

Yep, that would be the one. North mostly west side of the lake, under the
tracks leading into a river feed. Nice Muskie up there too, mine got away
but close enough to see the critter. Caught a 23" walleye of all things in
the river too. Once under the tracks, going upstream stick to the right as
in the center to the left shore, quite a few dead heads just inches under
water. But sneak your boat in there and the smallies be a in there.
Especially near the small island to the west and shore to the south.

While they were not like the 5 pounders I really like, usually 10-15", the
quantity was awesome when I was there.

Pike were good in a pool off the river not 1 mile up the river.

A local resort owner told me it was deliberate to foster a breading ground.
Lots of stumps, even in the open waters you would snag one once and awhile.
Being an artificial lake, not a bad place to fish. I hit that lake 3 times,
always in September.

There is another railway crossing to the east. Hit that area good. Mostly
small walleye.
