• Where to Fish on Marshrat Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Timiskaming District include brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Work Marshrat Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.
