Union 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 Union Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.
What to Expect at Union Lake
Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Union 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 Union Lake
Fish reported from Union Lake include bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, and longear sunfish.
Bass
When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Union Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
For sunfish on Union Lake, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood.
Catfish, Bullheads and Carp
Bullheads at Union Lake will take worms and small pieces of cut bait presented close to soft bottom.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Union Lake
Use the first few bites to identify a depth instead of changing lures after every cast on Union Lake. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Union Lake before searching the middle.
When to Fish Union Lake
Spring at Union Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Union Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Union Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
