Fishing Lake Laura in Forest County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Lake Laura sits within Forest County in Wisconsin. The surroundings are rolling bush. The water covers some 99 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 1.7 miles, and most of it is walkable. You are 21 miles from Crandon. Kingsford is 22 miles away, with Iron Mountain at 22 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Laura

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Forest County, recorded fish include brown trout, largemouth bass and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Lake Laura for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 65°F and January reads 11°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Anyone fishing Lake Laura regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lake Gordon, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Lake Laura for certain.
