Comins Lake is 50% covered with this ice. Most of the south lake is open water. There is still good shoreline access from the northern and western shores. The narrows has some ice, limiting watercraft access to the north lake. All ice should be considered unsafe. 

Fall stocking was completed with 10,059 rainbow trout averaging 9.1 inches being stocked. Additionally, the lake received 3,677 tiger trout averaging 10.8 inches. Recent surveys have shown a lot of hatchery size trout in the north lake and numerous 16-to-18 inch rainbow trout in the south lake, some well exceeding 24 inches. Brown trout in the 12-to-14-inch range was observed throughout fall surveys. Anglers should try PowerBait, spinners, nightcrawlers, and wetflies behind a bubble.

With colder water temperatures, largemouth bass activity is very limited.  Anglers looking to pursue northern pike should use flashy lures, RatL traps, and lures that resemble trout, bass, and bluegill should do well.

There is a limited Bluegill fishery at Comins Lake, and anglers are encouraged to release Bluegill to better establish their population.
