Little Largon Lake Fishing in Polk County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Little Largon Lake lies in Polk County, in Wisconsin. The bank is 1,247 feet above sea level. At roughly 21 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Cumberland at 10 miles is the nearest place to stop. Frederic lies 14 miles off, Luck another 15 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Little Largon Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Polk County list brown trout, rainbow trout, northern pike and largemouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Little Largon Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 69°F and January at 10°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Little Largon Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Largon Lake is 0.6 miles distant. None of that is settled for Little Largon Lake in what we hold.
