From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. The season on Lake Naomi follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Tamaque Lake is 0.7 miles distant.
