The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Pollys Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Marquette County cover brown trout, bluegill and rainbow trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Pollys Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 71°F in July and bottom out at 15°F in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The lid usually goes in early April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The season between ice runs from about early April to early December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Pollys Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Page Creek Marsh State Natural Area runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Mud Lake at 0.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Pollys Lake carry more weight than any list.
