  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Brown County records list bluegill, channel catfish and green sunfish among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 74°F; by January the average is down near 28°F. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Expect Fleming Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. The car has to stay 0.9 miles away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Stewart Lake, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Fleming Lake is worth confirming on the day.
