• Where to Fish on Green Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Cochrane District, recorded fish include northern pike, yellow perch, white sucker, Iowa darter and logperch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Green Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -18°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. On Green Lake that shapes the whole year.
