  The seasonal spread runs 6°F to 68°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It holds true on Fawn Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Rainy Lake, 0.5 miles out.
