Gilmore Lake
Gilmore Lake is a shallow, roughly 314-acre lake southwest of St. Germain with low water clarity and a marsh-influenced shoreline.
The darker water and broad shallows give it a quiet, fish-and-wildlife character rather than a polished resort feel. Day-to-day boat traffic tends to stay light, and its proximity to town makes it convenient without feeling busy. Buyers comfortable with stained water and weed-rich habitat often see Gilmore as a good fit.

This is a summary based on available information.
Gilmore’s shallow, low‑clarity water favors panfish, bass, and pike, with fish using extensive weed growth and soft‑bottom areas as cover. Anglers typically work weed beds, channels, and subtle depth changes with lures that show vibration and profile—spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, swimbaits, and bright jigs. Because visibility is limited, fish often stay active in relatively shallow water throughout the day, which can make for consistent action. The marshy shoreline and lighter pressure also create opportunities for stealthy canoe and kayak fishing along back bays and edges.
