• Where to Fish on Bogenho Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Thunder Bay District records list cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt and bloater among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Bogenho Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -15°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about mid November.
