Camp B Lake Fishing near Kingsford, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Forest County in Wisconsin is where Camp B Lake sits. Elevation runs to 1,450 feet. About 22 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Kingsford is the closest town at 18 miles. After that come Iron Mountain at 20 miles and Niagara at 21 miles. Within a short drive: Petryk Lake at 1.4 miles, Nadjak Lake just 1.9 miles, Hilbert Lake at 2.8 miles, LaFaye Lake just 3.2 miles and Goodman Millpond at 3.2 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Camp B Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Forest County records list brown trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike and bluegill among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Camp B Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 66°F, while January sits near 10°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at Camp B Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Petryk Lake sits 1.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Camp B Lake as something to verify.
