Round Lake in Oneida County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Round Lake is listed under Oneida County, Wisconsin. Around the bank it is lake country bush. At 4 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Oneida County standards. Start from Nashville, 13 miles down the road. Green Bay is the closest city, 89 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. 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. Survey and observation records for Oneida County include brown trout, walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike and bluegill. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Round Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 10°F in January up to 66°F in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Round Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Perch Lake, 0.1 miles out. Nothing here settles the position at Round Lake for certain.
