Lake De Neveu, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Lake De Neveu in the Fond du Lac County part of Wisconsin. The bank is 856 feet above sea level. It measures about 80 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The whole outline is near 1.8 miles, and most of it is walkable. It lies lower than most water we list in Wisconsin. Fond du Lac lies 3.7 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is Milwaukee, 54 miles away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lake De Neveu

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Fond du Lac County cover brown trout, common carp, bluegill and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Lake De Neveu a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 71°F and January near 16°F on the long-run figures. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early April and starts locking again about early December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Time your trip to Lake De Neveu by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Twin Lakes is 3.7 miles off. Check the position at Lake De Neveu before loading the car.
