• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 73°F and January near 28°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Expect Halley Pond to follow that timing. Long daylight spreads the feeding across more hours.
