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

• Overview

  Lindquist Lake sits within Marinette County in Wisconsin. It stands 961 feet above sea level. Roughly 73 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. With about 1.4 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It ranks high for size among our Marinette County listings. Start from Niagara, 11 miles down the road. The big place round here is Green Bay, 76 miles distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lindquist Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Marinette County cover brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Lindquist Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 67°F and January near 12°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Expect Lindquist Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Launch at Town of Dunbar Boat Landing, half a mile from the water. The water borders Marinette County Forest, so expect the reserve rules to apply. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Back Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Lindquist Lake is worth confirming on the day.
