Over 60 miles of shoreline combined with numerous islands, offers the angler all kinds of ideal fish habitats from rocky points and shoals, sandbars, weed beds, shallows and deep water, up to 40 feet.

When coupled with an abundant food supply and the fact that Black Lake is relatively shallow and warm, conditions are right for an almost super-normal development of warm water game and panfish. Large bays which support dense weed growths provide subsequent shelter for the annual hatch of growing fish fry.
