• Where to Fish on Wapaskosowakow Lakes

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On Wapaskosowakow Lakes that means starting tight and working out. Where reeds break, there is usually a route in for fish.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -23°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Ice-out usually falls in mid May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Climate averages put the opening at about mid May and the closing near early November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Wapaskosowakow Lakes rarely departs from it.
