About Randall Lake

Randall Lake is a prized trout lake in the Washburn County Northwoods — cold, clear, and ideal for fly fishing, a intimate 40-acre lake reaching 6 feet at its deepest. Access is limited, which keeps boat traffic low — a plus for solitude seekers. Anglers primarily target Northern Pike.

Fishing Tips

·Trout hold in the deepest, coolest water during summer. Early morning stillwater fishing or bottom rigs near spring seeps is productive.
·Northern pike are ambush predators — target weed edges, fallen timber, and points with large spoons or swimbaits.
·Spring pike fishing (ice-out through June) can be outstanding as they move into shallow, warming bays to spawn.
·Largemouth bass relate to shallow structure. Work topwater lures at dawn in summer, then switch to soft plastics rigged weedless around lily pads and fallen wood.
·Bluegill and crappie stack up in 8–15 ft of water near weedlines. Small jigs tipped with a waxworm are hard to beat.
·Panfish are often excellent for kids and beginners — look for them around any dock or submerged brush piles.
