Wilderness Lake, Drummond, WI · Muskellunge · 2026-11-13

Estimated species — not a state survey

The state hasn't reported Muskellunge in Wilderness Lake. This forecast uses the same bite model, but Muskellunge here is an ESTIMATE inferred from nearby lakes with confirmed surveys (based on 8 lakes within 40 mi, 41% confidence), not a confirmed catch record.

Species context

Why this score

Poor (21/100) for Muskellunge: water is estimated at 49.5°F, below Muskellunge's 75-80°F optimal range. This is a day-level estimate beyond the hourly forecast horizon, so there's no single best hour to break down.

When best caught

It's currently fall. Muskellunge typically hold 8-25 ft deep this time of year — at an estimated 49.5°F, this looks like a slower time of year to target them, since water temp is outside their optimal range.

Current depth

8-25 ft

This is the seasonal depth band from the species model, based on this species' typical behavior, not this lake's actual structure.
