Long Lake near Eagle River: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Oneida County in Wisconsin is where Long Lake sits. This is rolling bush ground. Roughly 56 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. About 1.6 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. The nearest town is Eagle River, 6.4 miles away. Green Bay is the closest city, 109 miles away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Long Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Oneida County, recorded fish include brown trout, walleye and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Long Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 66°F in July and bottom out at 10°F in January. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan any trip to Long Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Deer Lake is 0.6 miles distant. For Long Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
