• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -11°C in January up to 19°C in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Gling Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The closest car park is 1.4 km away, so pack accordingly.
