Little Spring Lake in Marinette County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Little Spring Lake is a Marinette County water, Wisconsin side. The ground round it is lake country bush. Roughly 31 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Niagara lies 29 miles from the water. Green Bay is the closest city, 60 miles away. Close neighbours run: Harwell Lake out at 0.4 miles, Murbou Lake about 1.1 miles, Heart Lake out at 1.3 miles, Kahles Pond about 1.4 miles and Lost Lake out at 1.5 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Little Spring Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Marinette County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Treat Little Spring Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 67°F and January at 12°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about early December in an average year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Little Spring Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Harwell Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Signs at Little Spring Lake carry more weight than any list.
