• Where to Fish on Robert Sells Flowage 1

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Survey and observation records for Price County include yellow perch, walleye and northern pike. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 66°F and January near 9°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on this water rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Granger Lake at 1.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
