Fishing at Lake Aidenn, Vilas County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Lake Aidenn is a Vilas County water, Wisconsin side. It lies 1,627 feet above sea level. At roughly 16 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Vilas County standards. Eagle River lies 5.3 miles from the water. Then Rhinelander, 17 miles, and Lac du Flambeau, 27 miles. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Aidenn

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Vilas County cover bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lake Aidenn that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 66°F, the coldest about 9°F. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Lake Aidenn more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. 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. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Baggs Lake, 0.4 miles away. None of that is settled for Lake Aidenn in what we hold.
