• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 13°F and July at about 65°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Weller Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one.
