Pincherry Lake Fishing in Vilas County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Pincherry Lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin. The country here is lake country bush. Small at around 18 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Pincherry Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Vilas County cover bluegill, yellow perch and walleye. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Fish Pincherry Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 65°F in July and bottoms out near 10°F in January. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Pincherry Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Chokecherry Lake, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Pincherry Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
