Knoke Spring near Nashville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Knoke Spring lies within the bounds of Langlade County, Wisconsin. The surroundings are mixed forest. At 6 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Langlade County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Nashville, 9.3 miles off. It is 80 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Knoke Spring

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Langlade County include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Knoke Spring the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 66°F in July and bottoms out near 10°F in January. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Knoke Spring to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Loon Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Knoke Spring before loading the car.
