Shawano Lake gets plenty of attention from anglers visiting Shawano County, but there’s another fishery 15 miles away that also offers several species.
The Cloverleaf Lake Chain includes Pine, Grass, and Round lakes just four miles north of Embarrass and 10 miles south of Shawano. Pine is the largest at 217 acres, followed by Grass and Round at 90 and 27 acres, respectively. Grass has the lakes’ deepest spot at 52 feet.

At more than 7,900 acres with a depth of 236 feet, it’s safe to say Big Green Lake probably holds more water than most Wisconsin lakes. That water is home to one of the state’s most diverse fisheries that includes lake trout, muskies, walleyes, channel catfish, and panfish.

Anglers have plenty of reasons for dropping a line in northern Oconto County, with Maiden Lake near Lakewood being one of those reasons. Maiden’s fishery includes walleyes, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and bluegills.
