Limekiln Lake in Waupaca County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Within Waupaca County, Wisconsin, you have Limekiln Lake. The ground around here is lake country bush. The water covers some 30 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. 1.3 miles away sits King, the nearest town. Green Bay is the closest city, 58 miles away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Limekiln Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Waupaca County include brown trout, flathead catfish, rainbow trout and common carp. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Take Limekiln Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 14°F in January up to 70°F in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The lid tends to go about early April and return around early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Limekiln Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is a marina, Becker Marine, half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Round Lake sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Limekiln Lake as something to verify.
