• Where to Fish on Lake Page

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Tuscarawas County records list johnny darter, bluegill, green sunfish, banded darter and blackside darter among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Lake Page before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 72°F and January reads 27°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That is the shape of the year on Lake Page.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Rainbow Lakes at 8.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Lake Page carry more weight than any list.
