Lake Mary Fishing near Twin Lakes, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Kenosha County in Wisconsin is where Lake Mary sits. It sits at 787 feet above sea level. The water covers around 326 acres, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Some 3.3 miles of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Size puts it in the front rank of our Kenosha County list. Twin Lakes sits 0.7 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Elgin sits 34 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Mary

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Kenosha County list common carp, bluegill and pumpkinseed. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lake Mary the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 19°F in January up to 72°F in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late March. The season between ice runs from about late March to mid December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Anyone fishing Lake Mary regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. A ramp is mapped within half a mile. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Elizabeth Lake, 1.3 miles away. For Lake Mary in particular, ask before you travel.
