• Where to Fish on Lone Wolf Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Forest County include brown trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Lone Wolf Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 65°F and January near 10°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Lone Wolf Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Launching is at Butternut south boat landing, about half a mile away. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. There are toilets half a mile off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. White Deer Lake sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Lone Wolf Lake if anything is unclear.
