• Where to Fish on Death Lake

Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public occurrence data for Timiskaming District names brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish Death Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
