Dull, settled light over the water, with an easy breeze from the NW and pressure sitting still. The productive water at Graveyard Lake will be around the shaded margin through bright spells. The evening should out-fish the rest of the day. Take the steady approach over the searching one. The pre-winter feed makes autumn days generous.

Night
You will find Graveyard Lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The surface lies 362 metres up. Roughly 67 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Roughly 4.0 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. The closest town, Sioux Lookout, is 193 km away. The big place round here is Thunder Bay, 348 km distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.
Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Graveyard Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.
Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -21°C at the bottom of winter. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate figures give an open season running early May to early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Time your trip to Graveyard Lake by conditions rather than dates.
Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Pickle Lake sits 2.4 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Graveyard Lake in what we hold.
