High Lake

High Lake is a lake in Wayne County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for High Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at High Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for High Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at High Lake

Fish reported from High Lake include bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, and longear sunfish.

Bass

Begin the largemouth search on High Lake with a moving bait, then pick apart wood or weeds with a worm.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Bluegill and other sunfish in High Lake take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Brown bullheads in High Lake are best approached with a worm or small piece of cut bait on bottom.

A Simple Fishing Plan for High Lake

Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on High Lake. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around High Lake before searching the middle.

When to Fish High Lake

Spring at High Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over High Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on High Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
