• Where to Fish on Tazin Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On Tazin Lake that means starting tight and working out. After a blow, the windward bank is the one to try.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 15°C and January about -24°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Winter locks it down, and mid May brings it back. Climate averages put the opening at about mid May and the closing near early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Tazin Lake that shapes the whole year.
