Sixth Lake Fishing in Montcalm County, Michigan

• Overview

  Sixth Lake is listed under Montcalm County, Michigan. It sits at 915 feet above sea level. Surface area is around 37 acres, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Supplies mean a trip to Edmore, 3.9 miles off. Further out sit Lakeview (8.6 miles) and Stanton (10 miles). A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Sixth Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Montcalm County: bluegill, largemouth bass, white sucker and johnny darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Anyone new to Sixth Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 69°F; the cold one sits at 20°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early April. The season between ice runs from about early April to mid December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. At Sixth Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Fifth Lake at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Sixth Lake.
