Mable Lake Fishing Guide, Langlade County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Mable Lake in Langlade County, Wisconsin. The setting is mixed forest on every side. At 14 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

In the same area: Twin Hill Lake after 0.6 miles, Clubhouse Springpond 0.7 miles, McGee Lake after 0.9 miles, Leonard Nixon Springs 1 mile and Long Lake after 1.5 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Mable Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Langlade County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Mable Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 11°F in January to roughly 67°F in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from mid April until about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Expect Mable Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Twin Hill Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Mable Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
