It is one of the smaller waters we list in Sawyer County. Spooner is the closest town at 17 miles. Little Round Lake is 17 miles and Shell Lake 18 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Fawn Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Sawyer County, recorded fish include walleye, brown trout and largemouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Fawn Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 68°F and January near 9°F on the long-run figures. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Open water usually runs from mid April until about late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Time your trip to Fawn Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. A boat ramp sits half a mile away, so trailered boats can get on. Public data records a pier about half a mile out. There is a campsite half a mile from the water. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Beartrap Lake sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Fawn Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
