• Where to Fish on Triangular Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Open biodiversity records for Kenora District list northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker and johnny darter. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Triangular Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -22°C on the long-run figures. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near early November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Time your trip to Triangular Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Eabamet Lake is 10 km distant. What applies at Triangular Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
