• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 71°F in July and bottom out at 19°F in January. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice-out usually falls in late March, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The water is typically free of ice between late March and mid December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Expect Bass Pond to follow that timing.
