• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 68°F and January reads 6°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lehman Lake that shapes the whole year.
