• Where to Fish on Tenho Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Tenho Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 19°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On average, late April opens the water and early December closes it again. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Tenho Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Kusti Lake at 2 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Tenho Lake is worth confirming on the day.
