• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 79°F and January about 42°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Kites Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Moore Lake is 1.5 miles distant. Treat Kites Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
