About Gander Lake
Gander Lake sits in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Gander Lake come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques
- For Atlantic salmon
When fishing for Atlantic salmon, pay close attention to water depth and current, as they often hold in specific locations to conserve energy.
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
- For Lake char
Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.
