Fish Tyrol Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -20°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. The season on Tyrol Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Schroder Lake at 3 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Tyrol Lake for certain.
