• Where to Fish on Camp Four Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Kenora District cover northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Camp Four Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Camp Four Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Beaver Lake is 0.9 km distant. What applies at Camp Four Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
