Wraco Lodge Lake, Michigan: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Michigan, Wraco Lodge Lake belongs to Roscommon County. The ground around here is pine and birch. Roughly 65 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. There is roughly 2.9 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Some 6.4 miles away sits Houghton Lake, the nearest settlement. Further out sit Prudenville (7.9 miles) and Harrison (14 miles). A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Wraco Lodge Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Species logged across Roscommon County include rock bass, yellow perch and bluegill. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Wraco Lodge Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 68°F, with January the cold end at about 18°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid April until roughly early December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Wraco Lodge Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Grass Lake, 2.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Wraco Lodge Lake are worth checking on the day.
