Lehman Lake in Marinette County: How and When to Fish It

The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lehman Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Work Lehman Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 67°F on average, January about 12°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Lehman Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Rosey Lake sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Lehman Lake.
