• Where to Fish on Comus Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish documented in Walworth County include common carp, bluegill, brown trout, pumpkinseed and northern pike. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Comus Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 72°F and January reads 18°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late March. Expect the water usable from around late March until roughly mid December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. On Comus Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. A ramp is mapped within half a mile. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Delavan Lake is 2.9 miles off. Ask locally about Comus Lake if anything is unclear.
