Siemer Lake Fishing Guide, Waupaca County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Siemer Lake lies in Waupaca County, in Wisconsin. The ground round it is rolling bush. With some 34 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Nearest place of any size is Iola, 3.9 miles away. The nearest city of size is Green Bay, 55 miles away. Others worth noting: Long Lake at 0.4 miles, North Lake sits 0.6 miles out, Round Lake at 0.7 miles, Grass Lake sits 0.9 miles out and Graham Lake at 1 mile. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Siemer Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Waupaca County include brown trout, flathead catfish, rainbow trout, common carp and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish Siemer Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 70°F and January reads 14°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. Averages suggest open water from about early April through to roughly early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. On Siemer Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Long Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. For Siemer Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
