Fishing Lamoreaux Lake in Livingston County, Michigan

What else is close: Kuhn Lake 3 miles away, Wasson Lake out at 3.2 miles, Mud Lake 4.1 miles away, Burden Lake out at 4.3 miles and Sheets Lake 4.5 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lamoreaux Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Livingston County include bluegill, largemouth bass, black crappie, pink salmon and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Fish Lamoreaux Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 70°F, with January the cold end at about 21°F. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Look for the thaw near late March; the fishing lifts straight after. The water is typically free of ice between late March and mid December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Lamoreaux Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Kuhn Lake at 3 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lamoreaux Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
