Grass Lake Fishing near Iron Mountain, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Grass Lake is one of the Florence County listings for Wisconsin. Height above sea level is 1,247 feet. At 22 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Start from Iron Mountain, 13 miles down the road. Kingsford is 14 miles and Crystal Falls 15 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Grass Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Florence County include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Grass Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 66°F and January near 11°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near late November in autumn. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan any trip to Grass Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A made slipway is half a mile from here, which settles the boat question. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Loon Lake at 0.8 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Grass Lake.
