  In an average year July sits at 70°F and January at 24°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Once it clears, about late March, the fishing comes on quickly. Ice clears near late March and comes back about late December in a typical year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Galicki Pond fishes to that pattern most years.
