Spring Lake near Meeme: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Spring Lake lies in Manitowoc County, in Wisconsin. The setting is pine and birch. Small at around 9 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. For a base, Meeme sits 4.6 miles out. The big place round here is Green Bay, 39 miles distant. Round about: 1.4 miles out stands Little Pigeon Lake, Eaton Twin Lakes at about 2.1 miles, 2.5 miles out stands Sy Lake, West Lake at about 2.5 miles and 2.7 miles out stands Horseshoe Lake. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Spring Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Open biodiversity records for Manitowoc County list brown trout, rainbow trout and common carp. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Spring Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 69°F and January reads 17°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early April. Averages suggest open water from about early April through to roughly early December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. The season on Spring Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Little Pigeon Lake, 1.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Spring Lake for certain.
