Farr Lake near Gillett: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Farr Lake is set in Oconto County, Wisconsin. This is mixed forest country. This is a pocket water of some 12 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 19 miles away sits Gillett, the nearest settlement. It is 47 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Farr Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Oconto County list brown trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, yellow perch and northern pike. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Farr Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 68°F for July and 13°F for January. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan any trip to Farr Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Westphall Lake at 1.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Farr Lake before loading the car.
