On Juggler Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 65°F and January reads 4°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Juggler Lake fishes to that pattern most years.
