• Overview

  New Jersey holds Glen Lake, in Gloucester County. It sits in rolling hill. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session.

A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Glen Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Gloucester County cover bluegill, pumpkinseed, redbreast sunfish, largemouth bass and brown bullhead. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish Glen Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 76°F; the cold one sits at 32°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Anyone fishing Glen Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Stewart Lake sits 1.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Glen Lake before loading the car.
