• Where to Fish on Lake Cherry

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Records collected within a few miles name blackbanded darter, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and snail bullhead. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. Work Lake Cherry in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 80°F, the coldest about 45°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. On Lake Cherry that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Bruce Pond Number One, 2.3 miles out. Check the position at Lake Cherry before loading the car.
