• Where to Fish on Beaver Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Fish documented in Montmorency County include largemouth bass, bluegill and northern pike. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The shape of Beaver Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 67°F on average, January about 17°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Beaver Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The nearest recorded ramp is Long Lake Boat Launch, half a mile out. Mapping shows a campsite some half a mile from the water. Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Coopers Pond sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Beaver Lake.
