• Where to Fish on Lake Louise

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records collected within a few miles name blue tilapia, bluegill, largemouth bass and Florida gar. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. Lake Louise gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 60°F to 82°F. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Anyone fishing Lake Louise regularly works to that calendar. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is a slipway on the shore, half a mile from the water we list. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Fishing from a pier is possible half a mile away. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lake Palmer is 0.4 miles distant. Nothing on Lake Louise should be assumed from this page alone.
