West Randall Lake Fishing Guide, Iron County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  The Iron County end of Wisconsin holds West Randall Lake. The surroundings are lake country bush. Small at around 9 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Iron County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Lac du Flambeau, 8.1 miles off. Park Falls lies 21 miles off, Phillips another 29 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on West Randall Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Iron County include walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, muskellunge and rainbow trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish West Randall Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 66°F for July and 10°F for January. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on West Randall Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Randall Lake, 0.6 miles away. None of that is settled for West Randall Lake in what we hold.
