One side gets the morning sun and the other the evening.

• Where to Fish on Untermeyer Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. County-wide records name brown trout, brook trout and northern pike. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Untermeyer Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 72°F and January at 27°F. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan around that when you fish Untermeyer Lake.

For Untermeyer Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
