• Where to Fish on Dragonfly Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Kodiak Island Borough include walleye pollock, Pacific cod, Chinook salmon and sockeye salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Dragonfly Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Peninsula Lake, 1.3 miles away. Confirm access to Dragonfly Lake locally before you travel.
