• Where to Fish on Lake Kamerooka

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Work Lake Kamerooka in sections rather than trying to cover it. Cover on the bank counts as much as cover below the surface.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 29°C at the top of summer and 11°C at the bottom of winter. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. June through August is cool but far from dead. The season on Lake Kamerooka follows the weather closely.
