  We hold no depth figure for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Carbon County records list rainbow trout, brook trout, sauger and walleye among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 14°F in January to roughly 49°F in August. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early June. Open water usually runs from early June until about early November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. At Bergschrund Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Glissade Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow.
