• Where to Fish on Flying Fisher Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and rock bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Flying Fisher Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -12°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Flying Fisher Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Skinny Lake at 1.5 km is the sensible second choice.
