• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 67°F, while January sits near 10°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Mud Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Larson Lake as something to verify.
