Logan Lake Fishing near Lowell, Michigan

• Overview

  Look for Logan Lake in the Kent County part of Michigan. It lies 787 feet above sea level. Head to Lowell, 8.5 miles away, for anything you forgot. Further out sit Lake Odessa (9.3 miles) and Saranac (9.7 miles). Not far off: Peddler Lake near enough 2 miles, Church Lake just 2.4 miles, Lake Number Ten near enough 2.7 miles, Hess Lake just 2.7 miles and Spring Lake near enough 3.6 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Logan Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Kent County include bluegill, rock bass and johnny darter. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Logan Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 71°F and January at 22°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Break-up comes around late March, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between late March and mid December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Logan Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Peddler Lake at 2 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat Logan Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
