• Where to Fish on Fremont Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Dodge County records list freshwater drum, bluegill, common carp, gizzard shad and black crappie among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Fremont Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Boats are marked private in public data; check who controls the water. A boat ramp sits half a mile away, so trailered boats can get on. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Ridgewood Lake, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Fremont Lake before loading the car.
