• Where to Fish on Quinn Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Fish documented in Kings County include alewife, Atlantic salmon, yellow perch and brook trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Quinn Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -8°C to 18°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near mid December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Time your trip to Quinn Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Parking is not close: 1.3 km from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Dolan Lake, 0.9 km away. Nothing on Quinn Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
