Beyond it, Gillett at 29 miles and Oconto Falls at 29 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Kiss Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Survey and observation records for Marinette County include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work Kiss Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 68°F, with January the cold end at about 12°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Kiss Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. You can launch: the ramp is half a mile away. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. A platform or pier sits within 0.9 miles. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Joy Lake, 0.5 miles out. The position on Kiss Lake is worth confirming on the day.
