Weymouth Lake in Waushara County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Weymouth Lake in the Waushara County part of Wisconsin. It sits in pine and birch. Small at around 10 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Waushara County. Head to Wautoma, 11 miles away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Green Bay, 73 miles distant. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Weymouth Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Waushara County: brown trout, rainbow trout, bluegill, largemouth bass and northern pike. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Weymouth Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 14°F on the long-run figures. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Weymouth Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Boat access is recorded roughly half a mile away. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Shumway Lake is 0.3 miles distant. For Weymouth Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
