• Where to Fish on Krohns Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Kewaunee County cover brown trout, rainbow trout, Coho salmon and Chinook salmon. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Krohns Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 19°F to 68°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Krohns Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Silver Lake at 1.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Where Krohns Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
