Case Lake near Lake Fenton: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Case Lake is one of the Genesee County listings for Michigan. What surrounds it is mixed forest. The water covers some 28 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. A shoreline of some 1.1 miles keeps the choices simple. Lake Fenton at 3.6 miles is the nearest place to stop. Sterling Heights is the closest city, 41 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Case Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Genesee County cover bluegill, largemouth bass, pink salmon, black crappie and common carp. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Case Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 22°F in January and 71°F in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early April. Ice clears near early April and comes back about mid December in a typical year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It holds true on Case Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. 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. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Copneconic Lake, 2.5 miles away. Nothing on Case Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
