Pomeroy 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 Pomeroy Lake, keep the first plan simple. This lake is in Gogebic County. It covers about 323.3 acres. The deepest recorded spot is 15 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 Pomeroy Lake.
A shallow basin changes fast. Wind, cloud cover, bright sun, and healthy vegetation can move the most comfortable water in a matter of hours.
Spring usually favors protected water that warms and holds forage. Summer pushes the search toward shade, healthy vegetation, current, and dependable depth. Fall cooling can bring feeding fish back toward breaks and shoreline cover.
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 available profile for Pomeroy Lake in Gogebic County estimates vegetation coverage around 5.3 percent. That matters because plant cover can shape where baitfish, panfish, bass, and northern pike spend much of the growing season.
The current record for Pomeroy Lake in Gogebic County lists Black Crappie, Blacknose Shiner, Bluegill, Bluntnose Minnow, Brown Bullhead, Coho Salmon, Common Shiner, Creek Chub, Golden Shiner, Johnny Darter, Largemouth Bass, and Mottled Sculpin, along with 6 additional recorded species. That is a starting point, not a promise that every species is common in every season or every part of the basin. For largemouth bass, compare shallow cover with the first firm edge before assuming the fish moved deep. A small jig is a clean way to locate the active panfish depth. For larger predators, cover water methodically around outside weed edges, points, and concentrations of forage. Stocking is kept separate from present-day abundance: the record lists Tiger Muskellunge and Walleye. A release confirms fish were placed here, not that they survived, reproduced, or remain common today.
A balanced rod and line make bites easier to detect and reduce unnecessary fight time. Have pliers ready before the fish reaches you, and return released fish promptly rather than sorting out equipment afterward.
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.
Start at the strongest nearby transition between cover and open water, then compare it with the first meaningful depth change. Let the first bite or visible forage activity decide where to spend more time.
If Pomeroy 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.
Review Michigan DNR guidance and recent conditions before leaving. A regulation, weather shift, or water-level change can alter the plan more than a new lure ever will.
