Dyer Lake Fishing in Florence County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Dyer Lake lies in Florence County, Wisconsin. This is pine and birch ground. Nearest town is Iron Mountain, 5.3 miles off. It is 95 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. Within a short drive: Badwater Lake within 0.9 miles, East Lake a touch under 1.1 miles, South Lake within 1.2 miles, Little Badwater Lake a touch under 1.4 miles and Long Lake within 1.7 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Dyer Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Florence County list brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Dyer Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 67°F, with January the cold end at about 11°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Dyer Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Badwater Lake is 0.9 miles distant. The position on Dyer Lake is worth confirming on the day.
