• Where to Fish on Killsquaw Lakes

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On Killsquaw Lakes that means starting tight and working out. Note where you had the first touch and work back over it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -16°C in January and 18°C in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That shapes the year on Killsquaw Lakes.
