Bishop Lake
Bishop Lake is a Forest County lake east of Crandon with a compact basin and a mix of wooded and lightly developed shoreline. Its layout gives it a quiet, side-road feel rather than a high-profile destination atmosphere.
Boat traffic generally remains modest outside peak weekends, and the surrounding woods reinforce its tucked-away character. Bishop works well for low-key boating and close-to-cabin fishing in a straightforward small-lake setting.

This is a summary based on available information.
Available regional information suggests a typical Northwoods mix of panfish, bass, and pike in a lake like Bishop, with fish using weeds and shoreline structure as primary habitat. Anglers can focus on weed edges, small points, and any inside turns with jigs, plastics, and live bait rigs. Because the lake is small and not heavily promoted, overall pressure is usually light, which can keep fish cooperative for casual anglers. It’s an approachable option for families and new boaters who prefer simpler water over sprawling basins.
