Korth Lake Fishing Guide, Shawano County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  In Wisconsin, Korth Lake falls inside Shawano County. The water sits 814 feet up. At roughly 16 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is low-lying compared with other Wisconsin water we list. Some 6 miles away sits Bonduel, the nearest settlement. It is 29 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Korth Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. 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. Survey and observation records for Shawano County include brown trout, northern pike, largemouth bass and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Korth Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 69°F, with January the cold end at about 14°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Korth Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Bahr Lake is 0.4 miles distant. The position on Korth Lake is worth confirming on the day.
