Deepest lake in the southern Lower Peninsula at 123 feet. Good walleye and largemouth bass fishery in suburban Oakland County.
Fishing pressure is our estimate of how busy Cass Lake is likely to be today. It looks at the day of the week, the time of year, and whether the lake has been stocked recently, because fresh stockings tend to draw anglers. Lower pressure usually means more room to work the water for bluegill, brown trout and channel catfish.
Very little activity expected. A great time to have the lake to yourself.
Estimate based on day of week, season, and recent stocking. Not a live crowd count.
