• Where to Fish on Kangikjuke Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. At Kangikjuke Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. The far bank is usually the quiet one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 7°C, the coldest about -34°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. After late June the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice clears near late June and comes back about late September in a typical year. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Kangikjuke Lake.
