• Where to Fish on Ungers Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Wayne County cover yellow perch, bluegill, largemouth bass and brown trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Take Ungers Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 68°F and January near 23°F on the long-run figures. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and late December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Time your trip to Ungers Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Florence Lake, 0.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Where Ungers Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
