Fishing Gregerson Lake in Waupaca County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Set in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, this is Gregerson Lake. The bank is 978 feet above sea level. The water covers some 37 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Around 1.0 miles of margin, front to back. Start from Iola, 3.8 miles down the road. Manawa lies 11 miles off, Amherst another 12 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Gregerson Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Waupaca County, recorded fish include brown trout, flathead catfish, rainbow trout and common carp. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Gregerson Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 14°F on the long-run figures. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. Ice clears near early April and comes back about early December in a typical year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. It holds true on Gregerson Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lutz Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Gregerson Lake as something to verify.
