• Where to Fish on Angleworm Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Saint Louis County include yellow perch, northern pike and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish Angleworm Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 65°F and January near 3°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That shapes the year on Angleworm Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Hopkins Lake, 1.2 miles away.
