  Set in Saint Louis County, Minnesota, this is Bundle Lake. It sits in mixed forest. Surface area runs to about 8 acres — small enough to read in one session. Most waters listed here for Saint Louis County are larger. Head to Hoyt Lakes, 13 miles away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Thunder Bay is 140 miles off. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Bundle Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Saint Louis County names yellow perch, northern pike and white sucker. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Bundle Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 64°F and January near 4°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Bundle Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Cadotte Lake, 2.4 miles away. Check the position at Bundle Lake before loading the car.
