Across Columbia County, recorded fish include brown trout, common carp, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On this water the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 16°F to 71°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Count the season from break-up, usually early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about early December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.
