Wallace Lake Fishing near Durand, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Wallace Lake is a Dunn County water, Wisconsin side. The bank gives way to pine and birch. Surface area runs to about 9 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Dunn County. Durand lies 8.1 miles from the water. After that come Menomonie at 11 miles and Mondovi at 15 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Wallace Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Dunn County records list brown trout, common carp and bluegill among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Wallace Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 72°F on average, January about 13°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near early December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Expect Wallace Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. The water borders Dunnville Wildlife Area, so expect the reserve rules to apply. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Browning Lake is 2.9 miles distant. The position on Wallace Lake is worth confirming on the day.
