• Where to Fish on Faust Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shape of Faust Lake decides where the fish sit. Small features hold more than big empty water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -25°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. Averages place the thaw at mid May and the freeze at early November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Faust Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Potato Lake is 0.7 km off. Nothing on Faust Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
