• Where to Fish on Omeme Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Rainy River District cover northern pike, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and walleye. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Omeme Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 18°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Anyone fishing Omeme Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits
