Spring Lake Fishing in Langlade County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  The Langlade County entry here is Spring Lake, in Wisconsin. The bank is 1,526 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 69 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The whole outline is near 1.7 miles, and most of it is walkable. It is among the larger waters listed here for Langlade County. Nashville lies 11 miles from the water. After that come Crandon at 14 miles and Antigo at 18 miles. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Spring Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Langlade County include brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and bluegill. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. At Spring Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 10°F to 66°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Spring Lake that shapes the whole year.
