Teal Lake Fishing in Iron County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Teal Lake sits in Iron County, out in Wisconsin. It sits at 1,581 feet above sea level. Small at around 23 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. You are 11 miles from Lac du Flambeau. For a city, Green Bay is 145 miles off. Other water within reach: 0.6 miles away is Muskie Lake, Stone Lake (0.6 miles), 0.9 miles away is Keough Lake, Ess Lake (1.2 miles) and 1.2 miles away is Upper Springstead Lake. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Teal Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Iron County, recorded fish include walleye, northern pike and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Teal Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 66°F, the coldest about 10°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Teal Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Muskie Lake at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Teal Lake for certain.
