Hare Pond, Michigan: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Hare Pond is listed under Gogebic County, Michigan. It sits in pine and birch. About 6 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Gogebic County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Iron River, 25 miles off. For a city, Green Bay is 136 miles off. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Hare Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Reported across Gogebic County: bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and largemouth bass. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Hare Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 65°F in July and bottoms out near 10°F in January. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan any trip to Hare Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Coral Lake, 0.2 miles away. Rules at Hare Pond are worth checking on the day.
