A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Tucker Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Washburn County: largemouth bass, bluegill, northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Tucker Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 9°F to 67°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. From about mid April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Tucker Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. You can camp about half a mile away, going by the mapping. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Round Lake is 0.4 miles off. Nothing on Tucker Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
