About Lake Huron
Lake Huron earns its reputation as one of Waushara County's premier walleye fisheries, a intimate 41-acre lake reaching 46 feet at its deepest. The lake has public boat landing access, making it easy to launch for a day on the water. Anglers target Largemouth Bass and Panfish. Note that invasive species (Banded Mystery Snail, Chinese Mystery Snail, Eurasian Water-Milfoil, Zebra Mussel) have been documented here — clean your boat before leaving.

Full table →Fishing Tips
- ·Walleye feed most actively at dawn and dusk. Jig along deep structural breaks or troll crankbaits along weedlines at 6–8 ft depth.
- ·Night fishing under a full moon can produce excellent walleye results from late June through August.
- ·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.
