• Seasonal Patterns

The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid March. From about mid March to around late December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Myers Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A campsite is mapped about half a mile away, which makes an early start easier. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
