A clear night sky over the water, with a whisper of wind from the WNW and pressure ticking upward. The fish at Hogelee Spring Number One are likely to sit near the first drop-off and weed lines. Plan around the stretch from morning through afternoon. Keep moving until you find them. The pre-winter feed makes autumn days generous.

Hogelee Spring Number One is listed under Langlade County, Wisconsin. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. Antigo lies 11 miles from the water. It is 62 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. Also on the doorstep: Starks Springs near enough 0.7 miles, Nixon Springs out at 0.9 miles, Joyce Lake near enough 1.4 miles, Karbergers Springs out at 1.5 miles and Pine Springs near enough 1.7 miles. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.
Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Langlade County include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Hogelee Spring Number One repays a walk before the first cast.
Long-run averages give July about 67°F and January about 11°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. At Hogelee Spring Number One the season follows that pattern closely.
Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Starks Springs is 0.7 miles off. Signs at Hogelee Spring Number One carry more weight than any list.
