  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Public occurrence data for Gogebic County names bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and largemouth bass. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Lake Audrey repays a walk before the first cast.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Bass Lake is 1.1 miles distant. Treat access at Lake Audrey as something to verify.
