• Where to Fish on Old Veterans Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Take Old Veterans Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 12°F in January up to 67°F in July. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. From about mid April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Anyone fishing Old Veterans Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Overnight stays are possible about 120 yards out, where camping is mapped. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Angle Lake, 0.2 miles out. What applies at Old Veterans Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
