The near bank of Camerons Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 80°F for July and 41°F for January. No part of the year shuts this water. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. It holds true on Camerons Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Broadacres Lake at 1.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Camerons Lake before loading the car.
