Features

In the fall of 1973, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and interested citizen groups began removing rough fish from Belleville Lake. The extensive clean-up operation removed over one million pounds of carp from the watershed. Stocking of gamefish, panfish and forage was done by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Belleville Lake is now one of the three most heavily fished inland lakes in Michigan. Belleville Lake is popular with both fishermen and recreational boaters. Because of its popularity and lack of public access, expect long lines and delays at the landings. Boaters should be aware of a 40-mph speed limit and no-wake zones under all bridges. It is illegal to anchor or to fish within 100 fee of a bridge.

Forage

Spotfin shiner, gizzard shad, golden shiners and logperch are the primary forage species. Juvenile bluegill and crayfish are also heavily utilized.

Seasonal Movements

A movement of spawning walleye and white bass to the Huron River inlet occurs each spring.
