Calling Lake

Tucked into Alberta, Canada, Calling 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 Calling 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 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.

• For Northern pike

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

• For Burbot

  Fish near the bottom in deep water, especially during low-light conditions or at night, as burbot are nocturnal predators.
