Allis Lake, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Washington County, Wisconsin, you have Allis Lake. Around the bank it is rolling bush. At 7 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On size it sits at the modest end of our Washington County list. Nearest place of any size is Barton, 0.6 miles away. Beyond it, West Bend at 1.6 miles and Kewaskum at 6 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Allis Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Washington County include common carp, pumpkinseed, green sunfish and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Read Allis Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 70°F on average, January about 17°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Allis Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A boat ramp sits about half a mile from the water. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. There are toilets half a mile off. Lac Lawrann Conservancy takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lake Lenwood at 0.3 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Allis Lake in what we hold.
