• Where to Fish on Jordan Lake

Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Lenawee County include bluegill, largemouth bass and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read Jordan Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 22°F in January to roughly 71°F in July. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late March. The season between ice runs from about late March to mid December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Jordan Lake.
