• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 25°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice-out usually falls in mid March, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Break-up near mid March, freeze-up near late December: that is the shape of an average year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Ohio Farmettes Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Muzzy Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Ohio Farmettes Lake before loading the car.
