Langlade County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Anyone new to Airhole Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 66°F for July and 10°F for January. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. It holds true on Airhole Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Duck Lake, 0.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Airhole Lake is worth confirming on the day.
