Laurie Lakes in Chippewa County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Laurie Lakes in Chippewa County, Michigan. Everything around it is lake country bush. Roughly 31 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. It is low-lying compared with other Michigan water we list. Supplies mean a trip to Newberry, 27 miles off. Greater Sudbury sits 194 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Laurie Lakes

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. County-wide records name rainbow smelt, bloater, lake whitefish, alewife and lake trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Laurie Lakes gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 64°F; by January the average is down near 16°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Laurie Lakes rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Preacher Lake, 0.2 miles out. None of that is settled for Laurie Lakes in what we hold.
