Was out there yesterday. We were checked by fish and wildlife when we got there and he told us about the winter kill. Last year we caught tons of pike, this year we could barely find any on the fish finder. Lake seems pretty dead unfortunately.

North end. Some trucks on ice...

Access from day use area is very bad, Heaved at shore and very rough to get onto ice for anything less than a 1500. Ice is about 10 inches 100 ft from Day use. Had lines in water for 90 mins and never seen a fish.

Not sure about the campground, but there is a dock you can fish from on the very north side at the day use area.

12" of ice about 200 yards out from day use launch set up to shallow today so a bit slow for fish action, try again another day

Used to be a great perch angling lake up to 2 lbs if you look at the derby trophy at the cow lake store.





by Kingfisher01 on Aug. 13, 2015
Perch are weak. Pike fishing is ok at best. First few years got some nice gators but seems like entire lake is petering out.





by gloveman on Aug. 13, 2015
Anyone catching perch recently?





by F.F.F. on Jul. 3, 2015
camped out at cow for two days. great action. 25 fish at least. no i didn't keep a single one. most around 60 - 80 cm. they do have a no fishing from boat dock sign but they have also put in a new dock just for fishing beside the boat dock so can't blame them too much.





by BetterThenYou on Jun. 28, 2015
Seen lots of under size pile getting taken home this weekend make sure u check your regulations





by SpinnerMike on Jun. 7, 2015
Cow lake is a heavy action pike lake that can prove to be fruitful if you are able to quickly figure out what the northerns are biting on at the time. From May 15 till late June the fish bite over and over, then it slows down when the waters become too warm, till mid August. This is one of the last successful shore fishing lakes in the area, and even that much is dwindling, as the staff that run the campground on the lake have asked that people no longer fish off of their best dock, it is solely for the purpose of launching boats (brutal). In the fall the pike are fewer, but they are larger, which makes the trip just as exciting.

Some floodwater on ice now, 4x4 recommended or stay on beaten trail.
