• Where to Fish on Last Call Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, recorded fish include longnose sucker, mountain whitefish and lake whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Last Call Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 10°C and January at -16°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late May. Averages suggest open water from about late May through to roughly mid October. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Last Call Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A campsite is mapped about 110 m away, which makes an early start easier. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Wokkpash Lake is 4.7 km off. For Last Call Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
