Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Little Canns Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Canns Lake, 0.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
