County Line Lake is a lake in Michigan, near Gogebic County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
If you are getting ready to fish County Line Lake, keep the first plan simple. This lake is in Gogebic County. It covers about 64.9 acres. The deepest recorded spot is 45 feet. On a first trip, I would use the wind, water color, visible cover, and any signs of bait to decide where to spend time on County Line Lake.
Start where two habitat types meet: weeds and open bottom, rock and silt, shade and sun, or a flat and the first meaningful drop.
Early-season fish often slide between shallow spawning areas and the nearest break. By midsummer, low light and stable cover matter more. Autumn is a good time to revisit points and weed edges as forage moves.
The opening hour is a small experiment. Keep one lure high, one in the middle, and one close to bottom. Once fish reveal a productive level, stop sampling everything and spend real time in that band.

The current inventory does not contain an exact fish list for County Line Lake in Gogebic County. That does not prove it is fishless. It means I would rather leave the species section honest than paste in a statewide list and pretend it came from this exact lake. Start with a small jig, spinner, soft plastic, or legal natural bait and let actual bites tell you what is present. Stocking is kept separate from present-day abundance: the record lists Rainbow Trout. A release confirms fish were placed here, not that they survived, reproduced, or remain common today.
Build the tackle around the likely fish instead of bringing the heaviest setup by default. Keep released fish supported and wet, remove hooks efficiently, and follow Michigan rules on bait movement and transport.
If the same approach fails in several good-looking places, stop repeating it. Change the depth first, then presentation speed, and finally the lure profile until the fish give a clearer answer.
Begin where healthy cover touches a depth change. If that area is empty, check the nearest inflow, point, or hard-bottom patch before making a long move.
If County Line Lake is not showing bait, bites, followers, or healthy cover after a fair try, change depth or move to a different type of water. Do not stay put only because the spot looks good.
Confirm current size and possession rules, examine the weather window, and note whether rising or falling water may affect cover and current. Old trip reports cannot replace those checks.
