Lindeman Lake Fishing in Stikine Region, British Columbia

• Overview

  Out in Stikine Region, British Columbia, sits Lindeman Lake. The country here is mixed forest. It measures some 4.60 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. Around 18 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. It is among the larger waters listed here for Stikine Region. Skagway sits 41 km from the bank. The big place round here is Anchorage, 826 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lindeman Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Stikine Region records list Chinook salmon, sockeye salmon, Coho salmon, mountain whitefish and Arctic grayling among the fish reported. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Lindeman Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -15°C in January up to 11°C in July. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. After mid May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid May in spring and again near early November in autumn. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. That shapes the year on Lindeman Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Deep Lake at 5.6 km is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Lindeman Lake if anything is unclear.
