• Where to Fish on Flamang Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Douglas County cover yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and black crappie. The county list is broader than any single water. At Flamang Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 67°F in July and bottoms out near 8°F in January. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Walleye come to jigs worked slow near bottom, and to trolled crankbaits along the drops at dusk. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Metzger Lake is 0.7 miles off. Check the current arrangement for Flamang Lake.
