• Where to Fish on Bagley Flowage 1061

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. County-wide records name brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 69°F and January about 15°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid usually goes in early April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. In an average year the thaw lands around early April and the freeze near early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Boats go in at Boat Landing No. 1, roughly half a mile from the water. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lake Noquebay is 12 miles distant. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
