Portage Lake - Three Rivers, Michigan USA - Fishing Holes on Waymarking.com

Bluegill, yellow perch, largemouth bass, black crappie, northern pike, sunfish, and walleye are the most frequently fished varieties.

From a Michigan Department of Natural Resources report:
Portage Lake lies in north central St. Joseph County, southwestern Michigan, about 5 miles northwest of the Village of Mendon. The lake is natural, having been formed during the Wisconsinian glacial stage (10,000 to 75,000 years ago).

Portage Lake is 510 acres in size and maximum depth is reported to be either 37 feet (according to Land and Water Management Division records) or 60 feet deep (according to Humphrys 1962).

The fish community found in 1998 contained 24 species (Table 1). Black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, largemouth bass, yellow perch, and northern pike were the predominate sport fish, as they were in the 1956-1962 creel surveys. Overall, sport fish populations were in great shape.
