Tekakwitha Lake near Nashville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Tekakwitha Lake lies in Langlade County, in Wisconsin. The surface lies 1,529 feet up. At about 36 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The bank runs about 0.9 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Head to Nashville, 10 miles away, for anything you forgot. Green Bay sits 75 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Tekakwitha Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Langlade County list brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Fish Tekakwitha Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 66°F, the coldest about 10°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid April and starts locking again about late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. The season on Tekakwitha Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Hollister Lake, 0.7 miles away. Rules at Tekakwitha Lake are worth checking on the day.
