Evangeline Lake, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Evangeline Lake belongs to Langlade County, Wisconsin. Elevation runs to 1,601 feet. It covers about 7 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Langlade County list holds plenty of bigger water. Antigo sits 11 miles from the bank. The big place round here is Green Bay, 77 miles distant. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Evangeline Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Langlade County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Evangeline Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 66°F in July and bottom out at 10°F in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. From about mid April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. That shapes the year on Evangeline Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Low Lake at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Evangeline Lake are worth checking on the day.
