Harvey Pond, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Out in Marinette County, Wisconsin, sits Harvey Pond. It stands 1,194 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 4 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Marinette County list. Start from Kingsford, 15 miles down the road. Green Bay is the closest city, 76 miles away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Harvey Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Reported across Marinette County: brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Harvey Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 67°F in July and bottom out at 11°F in January. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. It holds true on Harvey Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Kidd Lake, 0.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Harvey Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
