• Where to Fish on Lac Knox

  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. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read Lac Knox for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 12°C for July and -24°C for January. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. After early June the shallows warm and the fish move up. Climate averages put the opening at about early June and the closing near late October. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Lac Knox rarely departs from it.
