Glen Lake is a good early morning and late evening water. It has good to excellent pickerl, perch, sunfish and bullhead fishing. Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass fishing is fair to good, with some lunker fish taken each year. The lake is a small body of water and is easily fished from a small boat. Glen Lake is perfect for a quiet evening of fishing, and is also an excellent water to warmer live bait fish with children. The lake has a limited walleye fishery, but an angler can take fish up to 6-7 lbs.
