Coon Lake Fishing Guide, Menominee County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Coon Lake in Menominee County, Wisconsin. It sits in pine and birch. Roughly 29 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The bank runs about 0.8 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. It lies lower than most water we list in Wisconsin. Nearest place of any size is Legend Lake, 2.2 miles away. Green Bay is the closest city, 34 miles away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Coon Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Menominee County include brown trout, northern pike and largemouth bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Coon Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 69°F at the top of summer and 14°F at the bottom of winter. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It sets the rhythm of the year at Coon Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in 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. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Bass Lake is 0.4 miles off. None of that is settled for Coon Lake in what we hold.
