  Seasonal averages run from 25°F in January up to 73°F in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid March. From about mid March to around late December, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lake Haven.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Castle Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Lake Haven in particular, ask before you travel.
