• Where to Fish on Booth Lake

Survey and observation records for Vilas County include bluegill, yellow perch and walleye. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Treat Booth Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. A ramp is mapped within half a mile. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. A protected area covers this ground, which usually means restrictions on access. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Diamond Lake, 1.1 miles out. Nothing on Booth Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
