• Overview

Moose Lake is 56 km away, with Lac du Bonnet at 84 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Falcon Lake

  Depth on file is 26 m. 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. Work Falcon Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -19°C in January to roughly 19°C in July. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. On Falcon Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits
