A grey, even sky over the water, with enough N wind to stack food downwind and pressure on the rise. Start the search at Lake Anna along the weed line and any gaps in it. A long productive spell runs morning through afternoon. Make the first hour count and build on it. The cold puts a premium on the calmest, deepest water.

You will find Lake Anna in Florence County, Wisconsin. The water sits 1,158 feet up. Roughly 33 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Shoreline comes to about 0.9 miles, small enough to learn in a day. Nearest place of any size is Iron Mountain, 6.1 miles away. After that come Kingsford at 7.2 miles and Quinnesec at 9.7 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.
Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Florence County names brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Lake Anna rewards a slow walk along one bank.
Long-term averages put July at about 67°F and January near 11°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Lake Anna.
Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Cosgrove Lake at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lake Anna carry more weight than any list.
