• Where to Fish on Frawly Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Kenora District list northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker and johnny darter. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Frawly Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -18°C on the long-run figures. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April.
