Flat light and a covered sky today, with enough N wind to stack food downwind as pressure builds. Expect most activity at East Pickerel Pond around the closest cover to deeper water. Expect the better fishing from the day. Give the likely spots time before moving. A properly cold day, so expect slow, deliberate fishing.

East Pickerel Pond is a Marinette County water, Wisconsin side. Height above sea level is 978 feet. It covers about 10 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Niagara sits 12 miles from the bank. It is 75 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.
No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Marinette County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Take East Pickerel Pond a stretch at a time.
Seasonal averages run from 12°F in January up to 67°F in July. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan any trip to East Pickerel Pond around it.
Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. West Pickerel Pond sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat East Pickerel Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
