Blueberry Lake in Sawyer County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Blueberry Lake is a Sawyer County water, Wisconsin side. The ground round it is lake country bush. About 286 acres, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. At about 3.4 miles of edge, most people work one arm at a time. Few waters listed in Sawyer County are bigger. Head to Little Round Lake, 8.1 miles away, for anything you forgot. It is 111 miles to Saint Paul, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Sawyer County: walleye, brown trout and largemouth bass. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Blueberry Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 9°F in January and 67°F in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and late November closes it again. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Blueberry Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Pike Lake at 2.4 miles is the sensible second choice. For Blueberry Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
