Two Axe Lake Fishing near Little Round Lake, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Two Axe Lake sits in Sawyer County, out in Wisconsin. Around the bank it is rolling bush. At about 45 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Around 1.4 miles of margin, front to back. Little Round Lake is the closest town at 14 miles. Beyond it, Hayward at 21 miles and Park Falls at 31 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Two Axe Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Sawyer County include walleye, brown trout, largemouth bass, muskellunge and northern pike. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The near bank of Two Axe Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 67°F at the top of summer and 10°F at the bottom of winter. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. Break-up near mid April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Two Axe Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Little Cranberry Lake is 1.7 miles off. Rules at Two Axe Lake are worth checking on the day.
