Fiddle Lake Fishing near Wautoma, Wisconsin

• Overview

  In Wisconsin, Fiddle Lake belongs to Waushara County. Land around it is lake country bush. It is pond-in-a-field scale, with the far bank a short lob away. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Waushara County. Wautoma at 11 miles is the nearest place to stop. Green Bay sits 73 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Fiddle Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Waushara County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, bluegill and largemouth bass among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Fiddle Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 70°F in July and bottoms out near 14°F in January. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. In an average year the thaw lands around early April and the freeze near early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Fiddle Lake.
