The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Little Connon Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Connon Lake, 0.8 km away. Ask locally about Little Connon Lake if anything is unclear.
