• Where to Fish on Attikamagen Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Attikamagen Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -24°C in January and 12°C in July. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early June. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early June and starts locking again about late October. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Attikamagen Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
