A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Lincoln County include yellow perch, largemouth bass and walleye.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 69°F in July and bottom out at 26°F in January. The season stretches long at both ends here. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. On Baring Lake that shapes the whole year.
