Dalberg Lake Fishing Guide, Burnett County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Within Burnett County, Wisconsin, you have Dalberg Lake. Rolling bush runs right down to the water. About 13 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Burnett County list. Spooner at 20 miles is the nearest place to stop. It is 79 miles to Saint Paul, the nearest city. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Dalberg Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Burnett County, recorded fish include brown trout, northern pike and largemouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Dalberg Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 69°F, while January sits near 9°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Dalberg Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Kiezer Lake, 0.6 miles away.
