• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 51°F in July and bottoms out near 14°F in December. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late May. The water is typically free of ice between late May and early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Granite Basin Lakes runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Green Lake is 1.8 miles off.
