Bog Lake in Oneida County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  This water sits in Oneida County, Wisconsin. It stands 1,680 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 10 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Oneida County list holds plenty of bigger water. 14 miles away sits Nashville, the nearest town. Green Bay sits 89 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Bog Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Oneida County: brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass and northern pike. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Bog Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 10°F in January up to 66°F in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Bog Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Camp Lake is 0.2 miles distant. What applies at Bog Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
