• Where to Fish on Caskey Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The near bank of Caskey Lake is often the one people ignore. Cast along the margin rather than straight out from it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -19°C in January and 19°C in July. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Caskey Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Durban Lake is 0.8 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Caskey Lake for certain.
