Pecor Lake in Oconto County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Oconto County, Wisconsin, is where Pecor Lake sits. The land about it is lake country bush. At roughly 19 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is low-lying compared with other Wisconsin water we list. Head to Gillett, 10 miles away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Green Bay, 37 miles away. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Pecor Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Oconto County include brown trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Pecor Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 69°F, while January sits near 13°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. The open-water window runs from around mid 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. Plan around that when you fish Pecor Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, White Lake is 0.4 miles distant. Nothing on Pecor Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
