• Where to Fish on Myers Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Public occurrence data for Menominee County names white sucker, johnny darter, brown trout, yellow perch and northern pike. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Myers Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 68°F and January near 15°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Myers Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Boats go in at Hayward Lake Flooding Boat Launch, roughly half a mile from the water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Hayward Lake sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. For Myers Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
