• Where to Fish on Evergreen Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Forest County include brown trout, largemouth bass and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Evergreen Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 66°F and January near 11°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and late November closes it again. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. At Evergreen Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Cloud Lake, 0.5 miles out. Where Evergreen Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
