Webb Lake, Wisconsin sits in Burnett County lake country, and the fishing around town reflects that — quiet, accessible, and built around largemouth bass, panfish, and northern pike in natural glacial lakes. The three lakes with active listings here are Lost Lake, Meeker Run Lake, and Bass Lake, all offering lake fishing without the crowds you'd find further south on bigger-name waters. Bass Lake does exactly what it says on the label, making it a reasonable first stop if bass are your target. Lost Lake and Meeker Run Lake round out the options for anglers who want to work a few different spots over a long weekend. None of these are large destination fisheries with boat launches and bait shops attached, so come prepared — bring your own gear, check current Wisconsin DNR regulations before you leave home, and expect a more self-guided experience. The area rewards anglers who do a little homework and don't mind a slower pace. If you're driving up from the Twin Cities or Milwaukee, Webb Lake is a manageable haul and a solid base for a few days of lake fishing without burning a lot of gas moving between spots.
All three listings — Lost Lake, Meeker Run Lake, and Bass Lake — are classified as lake fishing, which in Burnett County typically means largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill, and crappie. Bass Lake in particular is named for a reason, so bass anglers should start there. Check the Wisconsin DNR's fish survey data for each specific lake before your trip, since stocking history and population density vary.
Yes. Anyone 16 or older needs a valid Wisconsin fishing license to fish any of these lakes. You can buy one online through the Wisconsin DNR's GoWild system or at local sporting goods retailers. Non-resident licenses are available, and short-term options exist if you're only visiting for a few days.

Late May through early July is generally productive for bass and pike after the spawn, and again in early fall when water temperatures drop and fish feed more aggressively. Panfish like bluegill and crappie are active through most of the open-water season. Ice fishing is also popular in this part of Wisconsin once the lakes freeze solidly, typically December through February.
A medium-action spinning or baitcasting setup handles most situations on these lakes. For bass, soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures work well depending on the season. For pike, wire leaders are worth having. There's no dedicated bait shop in Webb Lake itself, so stock up in Spooner or Siren before you arrive.
Shore fishing is possible at some access points, but lake fishing in this region generally favors anglers with at least a small boat or kayak to reach productive structure and weed edges. Check the Wisconsin DNR's boat launch locator for public access points on each specific lake, since access conditions vary and some launches are better maintained than others.
