• Where to Fish on Valde 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. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On Valde Lake a short move beats a long cast. Weed gaps hold fish when the beds themselves are too thick.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -19°C in January to roughly 19°C in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. The season on Valde Lake rarely departs from it.
