Mud Lake Fishing near Wautoma, Wisconsin

• Overview

  You will find Mud Lake in Waushara County, Wisconsin. Country round the bank runs to rolling bush. At 8 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Waushara County. The town to know is Wautoma, 10 miles out. Green Bay is the closest city, 72 miles away. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Mud Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Waushara County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout and bluegill. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Mud Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 14°F in January and 70°F in July. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Mud Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Lake Huron is 0.5 miles off. Rules at Mud Lake are worth checking on the day.
