Fishing in Sturgis, Michigan, United States

Coldwater is my favorite place to fish on this planet it has all the species a fresh water angler could ask for massive pike and large health bass, smallmouth also have been noted here black crappie are also a very common species if you know were to look but I think the south east Basin is the best for pike and it is a family friendly area that is quite and peaceful except for the early morning skiers that can get To be a pain they can be wreck less as well, but they are just happy to have fun and usually are not that big of an issue as we have to share the lake. And the lake on weekdays is just amazing for most of the people are older and retired and are very nice. Downsides the lake has many many sandbars and without someone who has been on the lake a wile you will have to be very cautious but there is no floating logs or stuff just be aware of the sandbars they can be good for fishing bit not the bottom of a boat. But that’s it the lake is the greatest ever and I would gladly give it 5 stars and a recommendation to anyone.

The lake is not only clean and fully trash free but also very clear. I can always see at least 15 feet down. The lake does not have many lay downs because the lake is mostly all houses on the sides... except for one little side of the lake. The lake is spring fed and the cool thing about it is that you can walk in the spring and feel the cold water, yes it is drinkable but I would still not drink it. The deepest the lake gets is 80 feet down and that is were all of the big chunky fish are. I would say to use a drop shot to fish on the bottom. But good luck fishing, and catch em all!
