Fishing at Round Lake, Calumet County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  The Calumet County end of Wisconsin holds Round Lake. It sits at 833 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 12 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is low-lying compared with other Wisconsin water we list. The closest town, Brillion, is 1.9 miles distant. Green Bay is the closest city, 25 miles away. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Calumet County, recorded fish include common carp, rainbow trout, bluegill and pumpkinseed. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Take Round Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 16°F in January up to 70°F in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early April. Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Round Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Public data has parking about 150 yards from the shore. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Boot Lake is 0.5 miles distant. Treat access at Round Lake as something to verify.
