At 18.51 acres, Grenloch Lake is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Grenloch Lake

Fish reported from Grenloch Lake include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch. Rainbow trout is also stocked in Grenloch Lake.

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Grenloch Lake should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Grenloch Lake bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Grenloch Lake should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Chain Pickerel

For Grenloch 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 Grenloch Lake

Compare one protected bank with one windblown bank before deciding which side deserves the afternoon on Grenloch Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Grenloch Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Grenloch Lake

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