• Where to Fish on Feather Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Gogebic County include bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and largemouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Feather Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 65°F and January near 10°F on the long-run figures. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. At Feather Lake the season follows that pattern closely.
