Blaisdell Lake, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Sawyer County, Wisconsin, is where Blaisdell Lake sits. The ground around here is pine and birch. The water covers around 447 acres, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Some 7.0 miles of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. It is among the larger waters listed here for Sawyer County. The nearest town is Park Falls, 22 miles away. Little Round Lake follows at 23 miles, then Hayward at 29 miles. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Blaisdell Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name walleye, brown trout and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Blaisdell Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 67°F, while January sits near 10°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Blaisdell Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Snoose Lake at 3 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Blaisdell Lake in what we hold.
