Average temperatures cross freezing around early April in spring and again near late December in autumn. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is a marina recorded roughly half a mile off. Overnight stays are possible about half a mile out, where camping is mapped. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Selma Lake sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lake Greeley are worth checking on the day.
