For Mascopic Lake largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.

Let wind and water color choose the first section on Mascopic Lake. Compare vegetation, shade and firm-bottom changes around Mascopic Lake before searching open water.

When to Fish Mascopic Lake

On Mascopic Lake, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms.
