• Where to Fish on Lukin Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On Lukin Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one. A change of depth of a foot can change the day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  January is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 23°C, while July sits near 10°C. The season is continuous, with heat as the only real check. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. The season on Lukin Lake rarely departs from it.
