• Where to Fish on Quarter Line Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Saint Louis County include yellow perch, northern pike and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Quarter Line Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 66°F for July and 4°F for January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Quarter Line Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Jorgens Lake, 0.4 miles out. None of that is settled for Quarter Line Lake in what we hold.
