Walleye
  
When fishing for
walleye you can expect to get into good numbers of fish, many in the
15-inch to 19-inch category. Lake
Gogebic is known for its abundance of walleye; you may not get into
many wall hangers, although there are some 10
pound plus fish caught each year.
Some of the best walleye fishing is from the opener on May 15
through the latter part of June when the mayfly hatch normally
starts. Early in the
year you will normally find the fish schooled near the many
shoreline structures and
drop-offs. From mid-May
thru early June working jigs and minnows in the shallows and over
the rock piles can be very effective.
Trolling crank baits can
also be very productive at this time of year.
Ice Fishing
Early season ice fishing usually produces the bigger Walleyes!!!
Come join the fun...
 
 
Perch
 
Unlike
the walleye fishing you will not normally get into large numbers
of perch, however, Lake Gogebic offers some of the best perch
fishing in the state for BIG perch. It is not uncommon to catch perch over 13
inches long and one and one-half pounds. There
are many perch caught annually that exceed two pounds and some
over two and one-half pounds. The State of Michigan has a program where they award Master
Angler Awards. To
qualify with a perch it has to be at least 14 inches and one pound
thirteen ounces or over. More
than half of all the Master Angler perch annually come from Lake
Gogebic.
Smallmouth Bass
Bass fishing on Gogebic is always a blast!
Lake
Gogebic also offers a very good small mouth bass fishery. Early June provides some of the best fishing of the year with the
bass along the rocky shorelines.
Minnow imitation crank baits and spinners are very effective
at this time along with any of your crayfish colored baits.
Backwoods
Lakes
There are
many smaller, secluded, backwoods lakes in the Ottawa National
Forest within 20 to 30 miles, which provide some very good fishing
for northern, musky, largemouth bass and pan fish. Most
of these lakes have easy access and improved boat landings. We
also have a panfish rig, (shown above ) you can rent for the day to
go check some of these lakes out. Many of
these lakes receive very little fishing pressure.
Northern Pike
Gogebic has an abundance of Northern Pike
 
Brown Trout
If you prefer trout fishing or a change from lake fishing,
most of the area streams and creeks contain brook and brown trout.
