• Where to Fish on Blue Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Reported across Burlington County: pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass and chain pickerel. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. At Blue Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 75°F at the top of summer and 32°F at the bottom of winter. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. The season on Blue Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Taunton Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Blue Lake as something to verify.
