Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Pyrrhotite Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 14°C and December near 0°C on the long-run figures. Whether it freezes depends on the year. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Pyrrhotite Lake fishes to that pattern most years. A settled spell fishes better than a bright one.
