Waegell Bros. Fishing
Blodgett Lake
Landed February 2024!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
It is with much thought and consideration that the Waegell Family has decided to close the lake to fishing this year. The lake has been a 70 year tradition with many multigenerational families enjoying it. Our ranch is an ever changing entity, and since the loss of our older generation it is even more so. This has been a difficult decision. We have appreciated your support of our family through the years with your memberships and have enjoyed getting to know you.
Sincerely,
Margaret D. Waegell
​
Enjoy fishing at a beautiful 40 acre lake located in the city of Rancho Cordova, just a quick 30 minute drive from downtown Sacramento.
Fish seven days a week from sunrise to sunset in a lake currently stocked with bluegill and red ear sunfish. Use your kayak or electric powered boat or fish from shore.
Never crowded and plenty of room to spread out, the season runs March 1, 2023 to March 1 2024, but you are welcome to join anytime during the season. Closed four months mid winter, October thru January.
Important Notice:
Due to lack of rainfall the lake is low. We are currently monitoring the situation and hope to be able to open to new and returning members this coming season. We will begin selling new memberships February 1 provided we get enough rain between now and then. Current members may begin fishing February 1 and renew their memberships March 1. We will update the website as the situation changes. The Waegell Family greatly appreciates its members and we are hopeful the lake fills up enough to welcome returning and new members for the 2021-2022 season.

About
Henri Waegell and Margaret Tiessen Waegell first started ranching in 1919. They raised cattle, turkeys, pigs, Kadota figs and other crops. In 1950 they acquired Blodgett Lake from the Blodgett Family. The Waegell Bros. opened the lake up to members for fishing in 1951. Dove, goose and duck hunting is also offered on the 2700 acre ranch. A third generation farming operation, Tiessen and Waegell Ranch raises sheep, seed crops and hay.
