Moccasin Lake Fishing near Nashville, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Moccasin Lake lies in Oneida County, Wisconsin. Height above sea level is 1,670 feet. Roughly 111 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Roughly 2.8 miles of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It sits higher than most water we list in Wisconsin. You are 13 miles from Nashville. The nearest city of size is Green Bay, 88 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Moccasin Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Oneida County include brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass and northern pike. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Moccasin Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 66°F and January near 10°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Moccasin Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Perch Lake, 0.7 miles out. Nothing here settles the position at Moccasin Lake for certain.
