Hemlock Lake

For anglers around Florence County, Hemlock Lake is a local lake and the best numbers we have right now are about 10 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, so you know roughly what you are getting into before loading the boat or walking the bank.

The kind of water this is

I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.

The fishing side of the page

I do not have a clean exact-water species list for Hemlock Lake right now; until we have better data, i would keep species claims off the page, and and see which part of the list actually shows up that day.

A laid-back first trip

If I wanted the first trip to Hemlock Lake to actually teach me something, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
