Lady Lake Fishing near Nashville, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Lady Lake in Langlade County, Wisconsin. The surroundings are lake country bush. At 22 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lady Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Langlade County list brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. The county list is broader than any single water. Anyone new to Lady Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 66°F, with January the cold end at about 10°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid April and starts locking again about late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Lady Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Greater Bass Lake at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. For Lady Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
