• Where to Fish on Fifteen Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shape of Fifteen Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank. It sits round rather than ragged, so structure comes from depth, not shape.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -13°C in January to roughly 15°C in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Fifteen Lake.
