• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 69°F on average, January about 22°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Once it clears, about early April, the fishing comes on quickly. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early April until roughly mid December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Davis Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground.
