• Where to Fish on Ningikomaset Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish Ningikomaset Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. Small baits catch more; large baits catch bigger.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -22°C in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Ningikomaset Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
