Sonnies Pond, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Sonnies Pond is listed under Florence County, Wisconsin. What surrounds it is lake country bush. At roughly 5 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Florence County. 3.8 miles away sits Iron Mountain, the nearest town. Beyond it, Kingsford at 5.5 miles and Quinnesec at 6.1 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Sonnies Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Florence County cover brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Sonnies Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 11°F to 67°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Anyone fishing Sonnies Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Little Badwater Lake, 0.5 miles out. Treat Sonnies Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
