Spur Lake Fishing Guide, Oneida County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Spur Lake is listed under Oneida County, Wisconsin. Elevation runs to 1,634 feet. With some 111 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Roughly 1.7 miles of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It sits higher than most water we list in Wisconsin. Rhinelander sits 14 miles from the bank. Further out sit Eagle River (14 miles) and Nashville (15 miles). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Spur Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Oneida County include brown trout, walleye and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. At Spur Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 65°F and January about 10°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Spur Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. 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. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Gust Lake sits 0.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Spur Lake locally before you travel.
