Wallace Lake near Lac du Flambeau: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Iron County in Wisconsin is where Wallace Lake sits. It sits at 1,621 feet above sea level. At 7 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Iron County. The closest town, Lac du Flambeau, is 16 miles away. Green Bay is the closest city, 150 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Wallace Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name walleye, northern pike and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Wallace Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 65°F; by January the average is down near 10°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Wallace Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Judd Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Wallace Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
