• Where to Fish on Anubis Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Lake County, recorded fish include white sucker, yellow perch, northern pike and rainbow trout. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Read Anubis Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 3°F and July at about 65°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. That is the shape of the year on Anubis Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Bird Lake, 1.3 miles out. Confirm access to Anubis Lake locally before you travel.
