Love Lake, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Love Lake is set in Burnett County, Wisconsin. It sits at 932 feet above sea level. Around 207 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. It is among the larger waters listed here for Burnett County. Grantsburg sits 22 miles from the bank. Frederic is 23 miles and Spooner 24 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Love Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Burnett County, recorded fish include brown trout, northern pike, largemouth bass and bluegill. The county list is broader than any single water. The near bank of Love Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 69°F and January about 9°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan any trip to Love Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. A nature reserve borders this water, which usually brings restrictions. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Falk Lake at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Love Lake for certain.
