Katey Lake Fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Newfoundland and Labrador, is where Katey Lake sits. What surrounds it is boreal forest. Surface area runs to roughly 9.45 sq km, so plan for one area rather than the whole. The outline measures near 35 km, so a boat opens up water the bank never reaches. Compared with other Newfoundland and Labrador water on our list, it sits high. 223 km away sits Labrador City, the nearest town. The big place round here is Saguenay, 795 km distant. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Katey Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Anyone new to Katey Lake should walk it once before setting up. Take a plummet or a sounder rather than guessing depth.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 12°C; the cold one sits at -24°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early June. On average, early June opens the water and late October closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Katey Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Gross Lake sits 4.3 km off and takes the overflow.
