Meyers Lake near Clarkston: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Meyers Lake in Oakland County, Michigan. Lake country bush runs right down to the water. Surface area runs to about 19 acres — small enough to read in one session. The nearest town is Clarkston, 4.7 miles away. Waterford lies 5 miles off, Holly another 8.2 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Meyers Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Oakland County cover bluegill, black crappie, largemouth bass and yellow perch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Meyers Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 70°F on average, January about 22°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early April. The lid tends to go about early April and return around mid December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Meyers Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is a slipway on the shore, 0.9 miles from the water we list. Parking is not close: 0.9 miles from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. A pier 0.9 miles from here gives a platform over deeper water. There are toilets half a mile off. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Schmitt Lake sits 0.9 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Meyers Lake in what we hold.
