Schwietzer Pond, Wisconsin: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Schwietzer Pond stands in Washington County, Wisconsin. The bank is 938 feet above sea level. It covers about 2 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Washington County. You are 1.9 miles from Jackson. For a city, Milwaukee is 25 miles off. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Schwietzer Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Across Washington County, recorded fish include common carp, pumpkinseed and green sunfish. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Treat Schwietzer Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 70°F in July and bottoms out near 17°F in January. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early April. In an average year the thaw lands around early April and the freeze near early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Schwietzer Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Tilly Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Schwietzer Pond as something to verify.
