Fishing at Korth Lake, Oneida County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Korth Lake in Oneida County, Wisconsin. Country round the bank runs to pine and birch. Small at around 22 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. There is roughly 1.2 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Wisconsin listings. Start from Eagle River, 4.8 miles down the road. Green Bay sits 109 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Korth Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Oneida County: brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike and bluegill. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Korth Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 10°F to 66°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about late November in a typical year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Korth Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Squash Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Korth Lake carry more weight than any list.
