  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Timiskaming District: brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Kowisis Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try East Night Hawk Lake, 1.9 km away. Treat access at Kowisis Lake as something to verify.
