• Where to Fish on Goose Egg Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name bluegill, largemouth bass, yellow perch and flathead catfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Goose Egg Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

  Averages move between 22°F in January and 70°F in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer.
