Allequash Lake in Vilas County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Allequash Lake belongs to Vilas County, Wisconsin. It stands 1,617 feet above sea level. At 406 acres this is proper open water rather than a pond. There is roughly 5.5 miles of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. It ranks high for size among our Vilas County listings. Start from Lac du Flambeau, 13 miles down the road. It is 131 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Allequash Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Vilas County include bluegill, yellow perch, walleye, largemouth bass and rock bass. The county list is broader than any single water. On Allequash Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 66°F and January at 9°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Allequash Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. A boat ramp sits about half a mile from the water. A camping area sits within half a mile of here. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Big Muskellunge Lake is 1.5 miles off. Confirm access to Allequash Lake locally before you travel.
