• Where to Fish on Mondeaux Flowage

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. County-wide records name brown trout, largemouth bass and pumpkinseed. The county list is broader than any single water. At Mondeaux Flowage light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 67°F, while January sits near 10°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan any trip to Mondeaux Flowage around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. You can camp half a mile off, which suits an early start. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. North Twin Lake sits 1.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Mondeaux Flowage before loading the car.
