• Where to Fish on Wedgewood Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. County-wide records name green sunfish, common carp, flathead catfish and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read Wedgewood Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 78°F in July and bottoms out near 23°F in January. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid March. Climate averages put the opening at about mid March and the closing near mid December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Wedgewood Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It is tagged as a stocked fishery in public data. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Holmes Lake at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice. For Wedgewood Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
