Spring trout fishing is picking up as water temperatures rise. Fish are hitting worms, PowerBait and flashy spinners. Fly anglers are having luck with blood midges, zebra midges, balanced leeches and woolly buggers. Fish close to shore to target fish cruising the shallow, warm water. Pike activity is also picking up. For a pike catch it is best to use a lure resembling the trout, bluegill or bass that they are naturally preying on.
There is a limited bluegill fishery at Comins Lake, and anglers are encouraged to release bluegill to better establish their population.
Join us for the 2026 Save Comins Lake Pike-Out on May 9! We are calling on local anglers to volunteer to fish out as many Northern Pike from Comins Lake as we can. Northern Pike are aquatic invasive species (AIS) that negatively impact the Comins Lake fishery.
Anglers volunteering for the event will be entered in age-group categories for a chance to win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes for biggest pike caught (lbs) and most pike caught. Find more info
