Lake Rose Teed near Kodiak Station: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Alaska holds Lake Rose Teed, in Kodiak Island Borough. Tidal water begins 1.1 miles from here. It measures about 227 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With 3.4 miles or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. The closest town, Kodiak Station, is 20 miles distant. Kodiak follows at 21 miles, then Homer at 153 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Rose Teed

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name walleye pollock, Pacific cod, Chinook salmon and sockeye salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Lake Rose Teed gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 54°F in August and bottom out at 32°F in January. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Plan around that when you fish Lake Rose Teed.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Bull Lake is 3.2 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Lake Rose Teed for certain.
