Bullhead Lake Fishing near Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Bullhead Lake falls in Oneida County, part of Wisconsin. The ground around here is mixed forest. With some 36 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The full circuit measures close to 1.0 miles on foot. The town to know is Lac du Flambeau, 10 miles out. Green Bay sits 126 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Bullhead Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Oneida County names brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Treat Bullhead Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. Facilities include toilets around 0.9 miles from here. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Johnson Lake at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Bullhead Lake in what we hold.
