  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. At Tommy Cluetts Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Note where the bottom hardens and work back along it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 16°C at the top of summer and -5°C at the bottom of winter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about late December in a typical year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Anyone fishing Tommy Cluetts Pond regularly works to that calendar.
