Bonnie Lake

Anglers know Bonnie Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Alberta, Canada. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Bonnie Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

• For Walleye

  Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.
