Lyons Lake Fishing in Livingston County, Michigan

• Overview

  You will find Lyons Lake in Livingston County, Michigan. It sits in mixed forest. It measures about 25 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Head to Brighton, 1.7 miles away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Ann Arbor, 19 miles distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lyons Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Livingston County include bluegill, largemouth bass, black crappie, pink salmon and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Work Lyons Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 71°F at the top of summer and 22°F at the bottom of winter. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The lid usually goes in late March, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The water is typically free of ice between late March and mid December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. On Lyons Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Durfee Lake is 0.7 miles distant. Treat Lyons Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
