What Bolger Lake is stocked with
This lake lies in Oneida County, Wisconsin. The state records in the table above list walleye and muskellunge. Check the size column in the table for how big the fish were when released.
Walleye usually bite best in low light; a jig tipped with a minnow, a leech or a crawler harness is the standard approach. Muskie anglers here can try bucktails, inline spinners or spinnerbaits on heavy gear with a leader. On a small water like this, much of the shoreline is within casting reach, so walk and try several spots.
Other waters close by on our map include Kawaguesaga Lake, Minocqua Lake and Katherine Lake. Rules for Bolger Lake follow Wisconsin DNR regulations, linked on this page. Signed-in users can watch this water for an email when it is stocked again.
