Lake Louise

Tucked into Alaska, United States, Lake Louise is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lake Louise should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Alaska whitefish

  Alaska whitefish often feed near the bottom in slower-moving water, so present your bait or lure accordingly and use slow retrieves.
