• Where to Fish on Spice Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Oconto County include brown trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Spice Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 13°F in January and 69°F in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. The season on Spice Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Klaus Lake is 1.2 miles off. The position on Spice Lake is worth confirming on the day.
