Reported across Somerset County: redbreast sunfish, largemouth bass and rainbow trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Ravine Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 72°F and January near 27°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. It holds true on Ravine Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Natirar Park takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Pleasant Valley Lake is 2.8 miles off.
