Fuller Lake Fishing Guide, Ingham County, Michigan

• Overview

  The Ingham County entry here is Fuller Lake, in Michigan. It lies 925 feet above sea level. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Ingham County list. Eaton Rapids lies 7.3 miles from the water. Lansing sits 22 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Fuller Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Ingham County records list bluegill, rock bass and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The near bank of Fuller Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 71°F and January near 22°F on the long-run figures. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late March. Open water usually runs from late March until about mid December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan any trip to Fuller Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Griffith Lake sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Fuller Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
