Gettemeier Lake near Chesterfield: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Set in Saint Charles County, Missouri, this is Gettemeier Lake. This is mixed woodland ground. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Saint Charles County standards. You are 4.6 miles from Chesterfield. Beyond it, Cottleville at 4.8 miles and Saint Peters at 5.8 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Gettemeier Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Saint Charles County records list common carp, bluegill, green sunfish and channel catfish among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Gettemeier Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 29°F in January up to 78°F in July. In milder years the surface never sets. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. It holds true on Gettemeier Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Park Charles South Lake Number 2 is 2.9 miles off. Nothing on Gettemeier Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
