On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records collected within a few miles name chain pickerel. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. On Bee Tree Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Bee Tree Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
