Fishing at Beaver Lake, Iron County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Beaver Lake is listed under Iron County, Wisconsin. This is mixed forest country. It covers about 17 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is high ground by Wisconsin standards. Hurley lies 14 miles from the water. Further out sit Ironwood (14 miles) and Bessemer (16 miles). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Iron County cover walleye, northern pike and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Beaver Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 65°F and January near 10°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. 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. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. The season on Beaver Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Lake Ten, 0.3 miles out. Treat access at Beaver Lake as something to verify.
