  The range across the year is 12°F to 67°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Horsehead Lake, 0.2 miles away. Nothing on Stovekin Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
