• Where to Fish on Mynyard Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Waupaca County include brown trout, flathead catfish, rainbow trout, common carp and bluegill. The county list is broader than any single water. Mynyard Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 70°F in July and bottoms out near 15°F in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early April. The open-water window runs from around early April to about early December in an average year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Time your trip to Mynyard Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A camping area sits within 0.9 miles of here. Mud Lake-Radley Creek Savanna State Natural Area runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Stratton Lake, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Mynyard Lake as something to verify.
