Low Lake Fishing Guide, Langlade County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Low Lake is one of the Langlade County listings for Wisconsin. It sits at 1,614 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 12 acres — small enough to read in one session. Antigo is the closest town at 12 miles. Then Nashville, 15 miles, and Crandon, 21 miles. Also on the doorstep: 0.2 miles away is High Lake, Evangeline Lake just 0.9 miles, 1.1 miles away is Rogers Lake, Game Lake just 1.6 miles and 1.7 miles away is Jack Lake. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Low Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Langlade County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Low Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 10°F to 66°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about late November in an average year. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Low Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, High Lake at 0.2 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Low Lake is worth confirming on the day.
