• Overview

  Halverson Lake is listed under Iowa County, Wisconsin. The bank gives way to lake country bush. About 9 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Iowa County standards. Dodgeville sits 6.2 miles from the bank. Further out sit Spring Green (9.1 miles) and Barneveld (10 miles). The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Halverson Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Public occurrence data for Iowa County names brown trout, rainbow trout, bluegill and common carp. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Take Halverson Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 15°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
