Fishing Little Pomeroy Lake in Gogebic County, Michigan

• Overview

  Look for Little Pomeroy Lake in the Gogebic County part of Michigan. The bank is 1,650 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 31 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. It sits higher than most water we list in Michigan. Wakefield sits 23 miles from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Lac du Flambeau at 26 miles and Bessemer at 27 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Little Pomeroy Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Gogebic County, recorded fish include bluegill, yellow perch and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Little Pomeroy Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 65°F, with January the cold end at about 9°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. It holds true on Little Pomeroy Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Pomeroy Lake, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Little Pomeroy Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
