• Where to Fish on Kekekabic Ponds

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Lake County include white sucker, yellow perch, northern pike, rainbow trout and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Kekekabic Ponds a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 65°F in July and bottom out at 4°F in January. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Kekekabic Ponds.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. You can camp half a mile off, which suits an early start. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Calico Lake is 0.4 miles distant. The position on Kekekabic Ponds is worth confirming on the day.
