Peters Lake Fishing in Price County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Peters Lake is one of the Price County waters in Wisconsin. The water sits 1,444 feet up. At 19 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. You are 7.9 miles from Park Falls. Phillips is 13 miles away, with Lac du Flambeau at 33 miles. In the same area: Flood Creek out at 1.6 miles, 2.5 miles away is Betsy Lake, Pixley Flowage out at 2.9 miles, 3.2 miles away is Perch Lake and LeClaire Lake out at 3.5 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Peters Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name yellow perch, walleye and northern pike. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Peters Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 10°F in January up to 67°F in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Peters Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Flood Creek, 1.6 miles away. Treat access at Peters Lake as something to verify.
