• Where to Fish on Raven Lake

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -19°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The open-water window runs from around late April to about early November in an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Expect Raven Lake to follow that timing.
