• Where to Fish on Saron Lake Number 2

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include redear sunfish, bluegill, dusky darter, Rio Grande longear sunfish and tadpole madtom. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. Fish this water where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 83°F and January near 48°F on the long-run figures. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Saron Lake Number 3 is 0.3 miles off. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
