About Selwyn Lake
Tucked into Northwest Territories, Canada, Selwyn Lake 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 Selwyn Lake 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 Lake trout
Target deep water near structure or drop-offs, especially during warmer months, and vary your retrieve until you find what works.
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
