• Where to Fish on 155 Reservoir

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Marquette County cover brown trout, bluegill, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and northern pike. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Treat this water as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 71°F in July and bottom out at 15°F in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Look for the thaw near early April; the fishing lifts straight after. From about early April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan any trip to this water around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Comstock Lake sits 0.9 miles off and takes the overflow. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
