There’s nothing like fishing to help you calm down, get away from it all, and just spend some quality time alone or with close friends. We have some nice fishing spots within decent driving distance of us here in Frederic, WI. Let us share with you the best places for your next expedition.
Coon Lake Park
Right in the heart of town, at 300-322 Lake Ave S, Coon Lake Park doesn’t strike you immediately as the perfect fishing spot. But once you drop a line in, you’ll see. The park is small, but it’s a great place to go for fishing and to take your kids for some of their earliest fishing experiences. The boardwalk and docks offer good spots, and sun fish are especially popular here.
Big Butternut Lake
Head south on 35 for a bit to Big Butternut Lake in Luck, WI, and you won’t be disappointed. This is a great spot for walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. Just watch out for the eagles: they’re often fishing here, too. In general, fishing here is best from 7-9 am, though it’s not terrible in the afternoon, either. Just check the fishing forecast before you go for the best times.
Big Trade Lake
Big Trade Lake is northwest of town in Trade Lake. This is one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in the area, and there’s also camping here if you want to make an expedition of it. Expect really good fishing here, especially for panfish. This is also a popular winter ice fishing spot, yet it remains fairly under-populated for the size, so you don’t usually have to fight for a good spot. There’s a couple of docks and also lots of hiking here, if you want a break off the water. In addition to panfish, you’ll find walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike, and muskies.
Straight Lake State Park
Head over to 2700 120th St, in Luck to get to the park, and then enjoy some of the best fishing around. It can be hard to get a campsite reserved here, but if you can, it’s worth it. This is widely renowned as some of the cleanest camping in the state: it’s also renowned for the great pike fishing. The park has carry-in boat launches only and lots of trails that meander along the lake. This is a state park, so you’ll need a valid admission sticker, which you can buy online. For 2023, the price is $28 for residents for the first vehicle in a household and $15.50 for additional vehicles in the same household. We think it’s worth it for the fabulous casting.
We love getting out on the water, and a dependable workhorse like the Chevy Silverado is a great way to get to any spot in the state. Get your new fishing truck from us at Larsen Auto Center today!
