For a city, Green Bay is 129 miles off. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Anderson Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Gogebic County, recorded fish include bluegill, yellow perch, walleye, largemouth bass and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Anderson Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 9°F to 65°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Anderson Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The slipway at Dinner Lake Boat Launch is 0.9 miles away. Expect 0.9 miles away in from where the car goes. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Wilson Lake, 0.9 miles out. Confirm before you fish Anderson Lake.
