• Where to Fish on Second Musquacook Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. County-wide records name Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout, lake whitefish and Arctic charr. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Second Musquacook Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 63°F; by January the average is down near 7°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Second Musquacook Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try First Musquacook Lake, 2.5 miles away.
