Avaunt Pond Fishing in Gogebic County, Michigan

• Overview

  Avaunt Pond lies in Gogebic County, in Michigan. The surface lies 1,696 feet up. The water measures roughly 8 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Gogebic County standards. Iron River lies 23 miles from the water. Green Bay sits 134 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Avaunt Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Gogebic County names bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and largemouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Avaunt Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 10°F in January and 64°F in July. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Avaunt Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Fisher Lake, 0.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Avaunt Pond in what we hold.
