Fishing Lyman Lake in Waushara County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Look for Lyman Lake in Waushara County, Wisconsin. It lies 1,027 feet above sea level. Small at around 12 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Start from Wautoma, 6.7 miles down the road. Dakota lies 9.1 miles off, Silver Lake another 10 miles. Close by you have: Ueeck Lake some 0.7 miles off, Marl Lake just 1.2 miles, Bohn Lake some 1.5 miles off, Crooked Lake just 2.6 miles and West Branch Mill Pond some 2.7 miles off. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lyman 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. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Waushara County include brown trout, rainbow trout and bluegill. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Lyman Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 14°F on the long-run figures. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and early December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Lyman Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. A pier or jetty stands 100 yards away, which helps on a crowded bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Ueeck Lake, 0.7 miles away. Check the position at Lyman Lake before loading the car.
