• Where to Fish on Spoon Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On Spoon Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session. One feature fished properly beats five fished briefly.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -19°C for January. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Spoon Lake.
