Hasbrook Lake Fishing near Rhinelander, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Oneida County, Wisconsin, is where Hasbrook Lake sits. This is mixed forest country. At 308 acres this is proper open water rather than a pond. The margin runs to about 3.9 miles in total. Few waters listed in Oneida County are bigger. The nearest place of any size is Rhinelander, 16 miles away. Eagle River follows at 17 miles, then Lac du Flambeau at 17 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Hasbrook Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass and northern pike. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Hasbrook Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 66°F; by January the average is down near 9°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Hasbrook Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is a launch about half a mile from the bank. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Cunard Lake is 0.8 miles distant. Confirm access to Hasbrook Lake locally before you travel.
