The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Gypsy Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Barney Lake, 1.4 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Gypsy Lake for certain.
