It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Blue Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, longear sunfish and largemouth bass. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Fish Blue Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 82°F and January reads 51°F. Winter is simply the pleasant end of an unbroken season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That is the shape of the year on Blue Lake.
