Mimi Lake Fishing near Hayward, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Mimi Lake in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. Country round the bank runs to rolling bush. The water measures roughly 9 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Bayfield County. You are 18 miles from Hayward. Saint Paul is the closest city, 119 miles away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Mimi Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Bayfield County names rainbow smelt, brown trout and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Mimi Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 67°F and January near 8°F on the long-run figures. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Mimi Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Launching is at Middle Eau Claire Boat Landing, about half a mile away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Middle Eau Claire Lake is 1.3 miles off. Nothing on Mimi Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
