Bogie Lake Fishing Guide, Oakland County, Michigan

• Overview

  Look for Bogie Lake in the Oakland County part of Michigan. It sits in rolling bush. Surface area is around 75 acres, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The whole outline is near 1.5 miles, and most of it is walkable. Size puts it in the front rank of our Oakland County list. Start from Wolverine Lake, 4.6 miles down the road. Milford lies 5.1 miles off, Walled Lake another 5.8 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Bogie Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Oakland County cover bluegill, black crappie, largemouth bass and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. On Bogie Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 71°F and January at 22°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early April. Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near mid December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Bogie Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. You can launch from a ramp around half a mile away. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Sugden Lake, 0.4 miles out. Confirm access to Bogie Lake locally before you travel.
