• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 73°F and January near 22°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Break-up comes around late March, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up sits around late March on average, with the water closing again about late December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That shapes the year on Redwing Lake.
