Weeks Lakes Fishing near Bloomer, Wisconsin

• Overview

  The Chippewa County end of Wisconsin holds Weeks Lakes. It lies 1,093 feet above sea level. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Chippewa County list holds plenty of bigger water. Bloomer sits 8.9 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Chetek is 13 miles and Cornell 14 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Weeks Lakes

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Chippewa County cover rainbow trout, brown trout, bluegill, largemouth bass and common carp. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Weeks Lakes the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 69°F and January about 10°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Winter locks it down, and early April brings it back. Expect the water usable from around early April until roughly late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Weeks Lakes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. North Shattuck Lake Access provides a boat ramp about half a mile away. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. There is a campsite half a mile from the water. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Horseshoe Lake sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Weeks Lakes in what we hold.
