• Where to Fish on Borth Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Species logged across Langlade County include brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of Borth Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 10°F to 66°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid April and starts locking again about late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Time your trip to Borth Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Kimball Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Borth Lake in what we hold.
