Evergreen Lake Fishing in Luce County, Michigan

• Overview

  Evergreen Lake lies in Luce County, in Michigan. The water sits 748 feet up. It covers about 8 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. You are 17 miles from Newberry. Munising is 47 miles away, with Manistique at 50 miles. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications. Trees shelter part of the bank when the wind gets up.

• Where to Fish on Evergreen Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Luce County records list yellow perch, white sucker, walleye and pink salmon among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Evergreen Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 64°F, while January sits near 16°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to early December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That shapes the year on Evergreen Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, North Branch Lakes is 1.7 miles off. For Evergreen Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
