Read Eloise Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

Open water usually runs from early June until about early November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Eloise Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Deacon Lake at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Eloise Lake is worth confirming on the day.
