A clear night sky over the water, with a soft NW wind and a rising glass. Most of the action on Tracy Lake should come off the seam between weed and open water. A long productive spell runs afternoon into evening. Make the first hour count and build on it. Autumn rewards covering water while the fish roam.

Tracy Lake is set in Price County, Wisconsin. It sits at 1,519 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 14 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Price County list. You are 5.5 miles from Park Falls. For a city, Green Bay is 148 miles off. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.
Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Price County records list yellow perch, walleye and northern pike among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Tracy Lake that means starting tight and working out.
The range across the year is 10°F to 66°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Tracy Lake.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Wintergreen Lake sits 1.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Tracy Lake.
