Although there are a lot of undersized panfish in the lake, Au Sable does produce a few fish or trophy proportions. Since 2016, five Master Angler panfish have been caught in Au Sable Lake including
Several ponds and stream sections hold panfish, bass, pike and trout.
In the end, grilling whole fish isn’t rocket science. The more you do it, the better you’ll get at it.
If you’re trying to take your fishing to the next level, having the right tackle box is one way to do it.
Fishing for both smallmouth and largemouth bass has remained good on topwaters and soft plastics in many lakes across the state, and walleyes have been biting on trolled crawler harnesses.
With water temperatures now in the low 80s in many fisheries across the state, the bite remains fairly steady for most all species.
For those who fish here, the draw is usually the expectation that they can put together a decent batch of sunfish or crappies and experience some quality largemouth bass fishing as well.
Walleyes have become tougher to catch with water temperatures now approaching bathtub-like temperatures and putting a few in the boat involves more work.
Water temps remain in the mid-70s, and the bite for most species is fair to good.
