Fishing Squash Lake in Oneida County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Squash Lake belongs to Oneida County, Wisconsin. Elevation runs to 1,634 feet. This is a pocket water of some 19 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Oneida County. Nearest town is Eagle River, 4.7 miles off. It is 109 miles to Green Bay, the nearest city. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Squash Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name brown trout, walleye and largemouth bass. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Treat Squash Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 66°F and January near 10°F on the long-run figures. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Squash Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Korth Lake at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat Squash Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
