Fishing
on Lake Gogebic is everything one would expect from
a lake that boasts more state angler awards than any
other in the UP. Lake Gogebic offers excellent
walleye, jumbo perch and smallmouth bass fishing, while
the greater Gogebic area provides an endless variety
of lakes and rivers, for great year-round action:
- In spring work the rocky shoreline for spawning
walleye with a jig and minnow.
- In mid-summer spend time in the weed beds in 8
to 15 feet of water with a slip bobber and leeches.
- Winter ice fishing for jumbo perch in deep water
in front of the resorts and parks is a can't-miss.
The most popular methods of fishing on Lake Gogebic
are trolling, drifting or anchoring. Each has its place
and time, according to weather conditions and personal
preference.
