Fishing at Longrie Lake, Menominee County, Michigan

• Overview

  You will find Longrie Lake in Menominee County, Michigan. Height above sea level is 696 feet. At roughly 4 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Menominee County standards. Menominee sits 23 miles from the bank. Green Bay sits 64 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Longrie Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Menominee County records list white sucker, johnny darter, brown trout and yellow perch among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Longrie Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 68°F and January reads 14°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about early December in an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Longrie Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Duck Lake at 1.5 miles is the nearest alternative. For Longrie Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
