  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Vilas County include bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Kuehn Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 65°F and January about 9°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Break-up sits around mid April on average, with the water closing again about late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on Kuehn Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Little Bass Lake sits 0.3 miles off and takes the overflow.
