Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. At Lake Two light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 59°F and January near 10°F on the long-run figures. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late October: that is the shape of an average year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan any trip to Lake Two around it.

• Tackle & Baits
