Catherine Lake: Dense weed growths there are favorite targets for largemouth bass fishing. Good crappie action also comes in the channels and the lake is one of the top spots for bluegills.
Channel Lake: Good bass and northern pike fishing is associated with this 352-acre lake. A variety of fish are taken from this deep lake. The bay at the south end where the lake drops off sharply is a good area.
Lake Marie: Marie provides good bass fishing in the channels and weed beds, crappies in the channels, white bass in the channels and along sand bars, northern pike along the north shoreline and walleyes at the drop-offs.
Bluff Lake: Panfishing is good.
Petite Lake: Like Bluff Lake, Petite at 167 acres, is virtually free of water skiers because of its size. There is good perch fishing and northern pike are frequently taken there.
Grass Lake: The Fox River empties into Grass and despite its depth, good fishing is found there because of the aquatic vegetation. Some people think the lake is one of the best northern pike spots on the complex. Good bass action also is found on the north-south shorelines and catfish often provide action in the northwest bay.
Fox Lake: Most of the fishing is concentrated around three large bays (Mineola, Stanton and Columbia) of this 1,700-acre lake. The Crabapple Island area is also a good crappie and channel cat spot. There's an excellent drop-off and rock bar in Mineola Bay which holds good numbers of walleyes, white bass and perch.
Nippersink Lake: Nippersink and Fox Lakes often are considered one and the same since they join. Nippersink contains 420 acres and is a connecting body of water among Fox, Grass and Pistakee Lakes.
Pistakee Lake: Good walleye, white bass and channel catfish populations are found there. Though the lake averages about six feet in most areas, Pistakee Bay drops off to a depth of over 30 feet. Meyers Bay is another good fishing area, as is Redhead Lake, a small lake connected to Pistakee via a channel.
