At Lake Solitude light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 49°F and January at 16°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early June. Averages suggest open water from about early June through to roughly early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lake Solitude that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lake Polaris at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice.
