Fishing at Lewis Lake, Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Lewis Lake is set in Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador. The surface lies 494 metres up. The water covers around 2.04 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. You are looking at roughly 10 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Labrador City. The nearest place of any size is Labrador City, 97 km away. Saguenay is the closest city, 678 km away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lewis Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Labrador City include brook trout, northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lewis Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -24°C in January and 13°C in July. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. After late May the shallows warm and the fish move up. The water is typically free of ice between late May and late October. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That shapes the year on Lewis Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Second Lake at 17 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Lewis Lake for certain.
