• Where to Fish on Tenas Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Species logged across Matanuska-Susitna Borough include rainbow trout, Coho salmon, sockeye salmon and longnose sucker. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Tenas Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 51°F in July and bottom out at 1°F in January. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early June. From about early June to around early October, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Tenas Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
