• Where to Fish on Biceps Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt, bloater and shortjaw cisco. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Biceps Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -20°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan any trip to Biceps Lake around it.
