Little Thunder Flowage Fishing Guide, Jackson County, Wisconsin

  Little Thunder Flowage falls in Jackson County, part of Wisconsin. It sits at 919 feet above sea level. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Little Thunder Flowage

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records held for Jackson County cover brown trout, rainbow trout and common carp. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Little Thunder Flowage to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 69°F and January at 12°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter locks it down, and early April brings it back. Climate figures give an open season running early April to early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Little Thunder Flowage.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Townline Reservoir, 0.6 miles away. Where Little Thunder Flowage is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
