In the northern tip of Michigan’s lower peninsula is a gorgeous clearwater fishing destination known as Black Lake. The most targeted species here are muskie, northern pike, walleye, bass, and perch. The lake ranks as Michigan’s 7th biggest inland lake, going up to 50 feet deep with 19 miles of shoreline. It’s not uncommon to see various species of fish swimming in the crystal-clear water, such as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, black crappie, walleye, bluegill, rock bass, yellow perch, longnose gar, muskie, and northern pike. In the winter, the lake offers excellent ice fishing – especially for walleye and perch.
