As a trusted Wisconsin Northwoods resort for over a century, Lakewoods Resort offers the ideal home base for winter anglers in Cable, WI. With direct access to the lake and a welcoming lodge atmosphere, it delivers everything you want from a true four-season destination.
Experience Ice Fishing in the Wisconsin Northwoods
Lake Namakagon is one of the largest lakes in the Cable area and supports a healthy winter fishery for ice fishing trips to the Wisconsin Northwoods. Anglers commonly target walleye (Sander vitreus), northern pike (Esox lucius), and panfish like bluegill and crappie.
Early season and late season are often the most productive times to fish. During these periods, snowmobile traffic tends to be quieter, and snow conditions are more favorable for moving around on the ice.
More Than Just Ice Fishing: Winter Fun at Lakewoods Resort
Ice fishing pairs naturally with other winter activities around Lake Namakagon. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter walks through the surrounding Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest add variety to your stay. Even quiet time spent watching snowfall over the frozen lake becomes part of the experience.
