• Where to Fish on Walker Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. At Walker Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Watch where fish top and note the time of day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 80°F at the top of summer and 43°F at the bottom of winter. The surface stays open the year round. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Walker Lake.
