• Where to Fish on Ten Mile Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Ten Mile Lake fishes better once you know its edges. Rain running in from a ditch brings food with it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, February about -8°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. The season on Ten Mile Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. A pier or jetty stands 310 m away, which helps on a crowded bank. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Long Pond is 6 km off. Signs at Ten Mile Lake carry more weight than any list.
