Fishing at North Grant Lake, Iron County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  North Grant Lake lies within the bounds of Iron County, Wisconsin. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. At 14 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Most waters listed here for Iron County are larger. You are 14 miles from Lac du Flambeau. Green Bay is the closest city, 149 miles away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on North Grant Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Iron County cover walleye, northern pike and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read North Grant Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 66°F in July and bottom out at 10°F in January. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and late November closes it again. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. The season on North Grant Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Grant Lake at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at North Grant Lake for certain.
