  Average temperature peaks around 62°F in July and bottoms out near 16°F in January. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Open water usually runs from mid April until about late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lake Windemere at 1.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
