• Where to Fish on Genaille Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. At Genaille Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach. About 21 sq km of land drains through here, so rain shows up in clarity within a day.

• Seasonal Patterns

Open water usually runs from early May until about early November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Plan any trip to Genaille Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Hoodoo Lake is 1.3 km distant. Confirm before you fish Genaille Lake.
