• Overview

  Arlone Lake stands in Nunavut. Height above sea level is 50 metres. About 3.95 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking.

• Where to Fish on Arlone Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read Arlone Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Take a plummet or a sounder rather than guessing depth.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 11°C for July and -32°C for January. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late June. Climate averages put the opening at about late June and the closing near early October. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Anyone fishing Arlone Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Highland Lake at 5 km is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Arlone Lake as something to verify.
