Pell Lake Fishing in Walworth County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Pell Lake belongs to Walworth County, Wisconsin. Height above sea level is 853 feet. Around 110 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. The bank runs about 1.4 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. It lies lower than most water we list in Wisconsin. Pell Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest place to stop. The nearest city of size is Elgin, 35 miles away. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Pell Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Walworth County include common carp, bluegill, brown trout and pumpkinseed. The county list is broader than any single water. Pell Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 19°F to 72°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late March. Expect the water usable from around late March until roughly mid December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Pell Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. 3 Reservoir at 2.4 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Pell Lake in what we hold.
