• Where to Fish on Kellogg Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Lapeer County, recorded fish include bluegill, largemouth bass and pink salmon. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Kellogg Lake fishes better once you know its edges.
