• Where to Fish on Lower Squaw Creek Flowage

Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Records held for Price County cover yellow perch, walleye, northern pike, bluegill and brown trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lower Squaw Creek Flowage the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 66°F and January about 10°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Aabajijiwang Flowage, 1.2 miles away.
