Cedar Bog Lake Fishing in Alger County, Michigan

• Overview

  Cedar Bog Lake falls in Alger County, part of Michigan. Height above sea level is 827 feet. At roughly 6 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. On size it sits at the modest end of our Alger County list. Munising sits 5.3 miles from the bank. Then Harvey, 29 miles, and K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base, 29 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Cedar Bog Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name yellow perch, rainbow smelt, northern pike and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Cedar Bog Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 16°F to 65°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly early December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Cedar Bog Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Anna Marsh, 1.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Cedar Bog Lake locally before you travel.
