Lamoreaux Lake, Michigan: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lamoreaux Lake lies within the bounds of Newaygo County, Michigan. The surroundings are rolling bush. Roughly 39 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Head to Baldwin, 11 miles away, for anything you forgot. After that come White Cloud at 15 miles and Fremont at 20 miles. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Lamoreaux Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Newaygo County records list largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Lamoreaux Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 69°F and January near 20°F. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Count the season from break-up, usually early April. The season between ice runs from about early April to mid December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. It holds true on Lamoreaux Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Isaac Lake is 0.4 miles off. Signs at Lamoreaux Lake carry more weight than any list.
