• Where to Fish on Four Ducks Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Forest County include brown trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Work Four Ducks Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 10°F in January and 65°F in July. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and late November closes it again. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect Four Ducks Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. The slipway at Butternut south boat landing is half a mile away. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Harriet Lake is 0.3 miles off. Nothing on Four Ducks Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
