  Typical July readings run about 71°F; by January the average is down near 18°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late March. Open water usually runs from late March until about mid December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Bohner Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle.
