Lindgren Lake, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lindgren Lake is a Bayfield County water, in Wisconsin. Around the bank it is rolling bush. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Bayfield County list. Lake Nebagamon sits 9.3 miles from the bank. Beyond it, Ashland at 30 miles and Washburn at 31 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Lindgren Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Bayfield County list rainbow smelt, brown trout, yellow perch, rainbow trout and white sucker. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Lindgren Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 66°F and January near 9°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Lindgren Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Camp Eleven Lake at 0.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Lindgren Lake.
