• Where to Fish on Granite Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, eastern blackbanded darter and green sunfish. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. At Granite Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Vandivers Lake is 0.9 miles off. Ask locally about Granite Lake if anything is unclear.
