Blueberry Lake Fishing in Vilas County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Blueberry Lake is set in Vilas County, Wisconsin. The surface lies 1,667 feet up. At roughly 11 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Our Vilas County list holds plenty of bigger water. 10 miles away sits Eagle River, the nearest town. Lac du Flambeau lies 29 miles off, Rhinelander another 29 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Vilas County records list bluegill, yellow perch, walleye, largemouth bass and rock bass among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Work Blueberry Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 65°F for July and 9°F for January. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan around that when you fish Blueberry Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Stormy Lake at 0.8 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Blueberry Lake locally before you travel.
