• Where to Fish on Malabeam Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Survey and observation records for Aroostook County include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and lake whitefish. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Work Malabeam Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 64°F and January about 8°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Malabeam Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
