Bellis Spring Fishing Guide, Langlade County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Bellis Spring in Langlade County, Wisconsin. The ground round it is lake country bush. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. It is a small entry by Langlade County standards. Start from Nashville, 8.3 miles down the road. Green Bay is the closest city, 83 miles away. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Bellis Spring

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Langlade County include brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Bellis Spring responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 10°F and July at about 66°F, the water has a wide range to work through. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That shapes the year on Bellis Spring.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Nelson Lake, 2 miles out. Treat Bellis Spring as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
