• Where to Fish on Little Wolf Impoundment

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. County-wide records name yellow perch, largemouth bass and northern pike. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Little Wolf Impoundment the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 66°F and January reads 5°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That is the shape of the year on Little Wolf Impoundment.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A phone call first saves an afternoon.
