Fishing Keco Lake in Newfoundland and Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Keco Lake is a Newfoundland and Labrador water, Newfoundland and Labrador side. The bank is 485 metres above sea level. This is sizeable water at about 2.40 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The edge covers about 16 km, enough to hold several distinct areas. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Newfoundland and Labrador listings. Labrador City sits 216 km from the bank. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 792 km away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Keco Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The near bank of Keco Lake is often the one people ignore. Overhanging branches shade fish that would otherwise sit deeper.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 11°C on average, January about -24°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. After early June the shallows warm and the fish move up. The lid tends to go about early June and return around late October. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. On Keco Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Mountain Lake, 3.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
