• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 64°F and January near 11°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Lower Wilson Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
