• Where to Fish on Granitehill Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Algoma cover walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter and yellow perch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Fish Granitehill Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

The season on Granitehill Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. 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. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Cholette Lake, 5.6 km away. Nothing on Granitehill Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
