• Where to Fish on Wiggins Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Marinette County, recorded fish include brown trout, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Work Wiggins Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Thoeming Lake is 1.3 miles off. Nothing on Wiggins Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
