• Where to Fish on Lake Full of Fish

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, bluegill and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work Lake Full of Fish in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 7°F in January up to 68°F in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about late November in an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lake Full of Fish.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Pomroy Lake at 2.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Lake Full of Fish as something to verify.
