Fishing Beaver Pond in Chippewa County, Michigan

• Overview

  Beaver Pond lies in Chippewa County, in Michigan. The water sits 617 feet up. Roughly 27 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. About 1.1 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It is low-lying compared with other Michigan water we list. The nearest place of any size is Thessalon, 21 miles away. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 128 miles distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Open biodiversity records for Chippewa County list rainbow smelt, bloater, lake whitefish, alewife and lake trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Beaver Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 66°F and January about 16°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. Break-up sits around mid April on average, with the water closing again about early December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Beaver Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Dickenson Lake is 0.7 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at Beaver Pond for certain.
