Fishing Season...May 1st to Sept 30th

("Bonus Season"....4 area backcountry trout lakes are open for catch and release fishing Oct and Nov)

Nahmakanta Lake....... 4 miles long, 1000 acres 115' maximum depth.

General Law regulations (flies, lures or bait ). Nahmakanta is primarily

a lake trout and landlock salmon lake, with a few brook trout.

Salmon run 12" to 20" and occasionally larger. Lake trout, or "Togue"

run 3-12lbs. Throughout the season, salmon are found anywhere from

the surface to 40'. Togue can be as deep as 70'. Most fishing on the lake is from motorboats with trolling with fly rods and long leaders. Salmon

frequently rise for flies mornings and evenings in front of camp.

casting flies or lures from canoes or boats is possible then.

Backcountry Lakes........ We maintain foot trails to and keep boats and canoes at ten different hike-in brook trout lakes in our area. Walking distance to the backountry lakes vary between 1/4 and 2 miles. All are restricted to flies and lures (no bait allowed). Trout up to 18" and sometimes larger.

Streams

Six mile long Nahmakanta stream drains Nahmakanta Lake and is an excellent salmon and brook trout fishery from mid May and late June or early July and again in late September. A classic freestone stream, swift and rocky with pools and deep runs between rapids. There are also two smaller brook trout streams right near camp.
