• Where to Fish on Beanshuttle Lakes

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Ogemaw County: bluegill, rock bass, pink salmon and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Beanshuttle Lakes the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 18°F in January and 68°F in July. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early April. From about early April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Beanshuttle Lakes regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Harper Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. For Beanshuttle Lakes in particular, ask before you travel.
