Lake Como

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

What to Expect at Lake Como

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Lake Como, 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 Lake Como

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

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Lake Como largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Lake Como 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 Lake Como bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Lake Como should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Channel catfish in Lake Como take cut bait, nightcrawlers and prepared bait on a slip-sinker rig.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Como

Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Lake Como. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Lake Como that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Lake Como

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