Fish and Useful Baits at Gliddon Lake

Fish reported from Gliddon Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Gliddon Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Gliddon Lake respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Gliddon Lake for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Gliddon Lake.

Chain Pickerel

For Gliddon Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Gliddon Lake

Let water color, wind and the first two bites decide whether to stay shallow or move toward the basin on Gliddon Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Gliddon Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Gliddon Lake

On Gliddon Lake, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Gliddon Lake is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Gliddon Lake, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
