Lake Catherine is 3.2 miles away, with Channel Lake at 3.4 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Voltz Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Kenosha County include common carp, bluegill and pumpkinseed. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Voltz Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Lake Shangrila at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. For Voltz Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
