Anglers can check out about 10 miles of shoreline and the deeper regions of the lake which only reach 27 feet. Favored fish species in Union Lake are largemouth bass and black crappie. The Union Lake boat ramp, in the Union Lake Wildlife Management Area, offers boat launching for boats with up to 10 horsepower motors. This boat-motor restriction reduces the fishing pressure, which improves the success of those who wish to wet a line here. Adventurous anglers who don't mind a bit of walking can find areas for fishing from the bank.
