• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Time your trip to Lunny Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Summers Lake at 1.6 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lunny Lake is worth confirming on the day.
