On Little Woodhull Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 64°F and January reads 14°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Little Woodhull Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Lily Lake, 0.4 miles away.
