  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -20°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Goldwin Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first.
