Of all the lakes in the area, I would definitely recommend fishing orchard. It is way less crowded with both people and boats than Cass lake. If you do not own a boat, you can fish the public boat launch by Kroger. There are some good pike and bass there and some really nice tranquil fishing spots. It’s normally pretty easy to fish there just watch out for the people launching their boats and don’t get in their way. If you have a boat, I’d suggest fishing around Apple island, the big island in the middle. There are some monster bass as well as pike. In the deep areas, which there are quite a few of and some get pretty deep, there are some big walleye. Avoid the side canals if you can. They are just filled with tons and tons of carp. Although it’s pretty unknown, the DNR did in fact stock the lake with Muskie back in 2017. They were fingerlings then but from what I’ve heard they are much much bigger now. Also, this pike has some huge but very allusive long nose gar. I’ve had some follow my boat that have been at least 3 feet of not longer. So if you get lucky, you may catch one of those bad boys

Blossom heath is one of the best places for any one of any skill level to fish. With my experience I was able to meet some extremely nice people who ended up helping me catch my first small mouth! If you want to catch Pike, Smallmouth, Largemouth, or Wall eye this is a pretty good spot.
