• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 70°F in July and bottom out at 24°F in January. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late March. In an average year the thaw lands around late March and the freeze near late December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Second Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is First Pond, 0.7 miles out. Check the position at Second Pond before loading the car.
