Myre Lake in Burnett County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Myre Lake in the Burnett County part of Wisconsin. Elevation runs to 968 feet. Roughly 128 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. With about 2.2 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. You are 19 miles from Spooner. For a city, Saint Paul is 81 miles off. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Myre Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Burnett County include brown trout, northern pike and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. At Myre Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 69°F and January near 9°F on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around mid April. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about late November in an average year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Myre Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Phernetton Lake is 0.6 miles distant. Treat access at Myre Lake as something to verify.
