Logan Lakes near Howell: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Livingston County in Michigan is where Logan Lakes sits. The surface lies 948 feet up. At 7 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Livingston County. Start from Howell, 3.7 miles down the road. After that come Brighton at 7.8 miles and Fowlerville at 11 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Logan Lakes

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name bluegill, largemouth bass, black crappie and pink salmon. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Logan Lakes responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 70°F at the top of summer and 22°F at the bottom of winter. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Look for the thaw near early April; the fishing lifts straight after. The open-water window runs from around early April to about mid December in an average year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Time your trip to Logan Lakes by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. H.E. Hardy Memorial Nature Sanctuary covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Church Lake at 1.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at Logan Lakes are worth checking on the day.
