Rabbit Lake

Tucked into Ontario, Canada, Rabbit 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 Rabbit Lake should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

  Target deeper areas near drop-offs or structure where whitefish congregate, and use a fish finder to locate schools of fish.

• 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.
