• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 34°F in January and 70°F in July. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Gray Reservoir that shapes the whole year. Consistent weather beats warm weather for steady sport.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Pine Hollow Reservoir at 9.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Gray Reservoir if anything is unclear.
