Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lexington Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Survey and observation records for Middlesex County include bluegill, pumpkinseed and chain pickerel. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lexington Reservoir fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 72°F and January near 25°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Time your trip to Lexington Reservoir by conditions rather than dates.
