• Where to Fish on Lake Griselda

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Lake Griselda gives up more to patience than to distance. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year January sits at 31°C and July at 14°C. Fish feed through every month here. The shoulder seasons either side of summer are the ones to aim for. The wet months move levels about, which shifts the fishing with them. It holds true on Lake Griselda more years than not.
