• Where to Fish on Mullin Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read Mullin Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.

  July runs about 14°C on average, January about -27°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early June. Averages suggest open water from about early June through to roughly late October. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Mullin Lake.
