Whitefish
Summer Whitefish
The dog days of summer are here and it is time to change strategies for
whitefish. Being a cold water fish, the whities need to hole-up in deeper,
cooler water at this time of the season. They also become a bit slower in
their feeding. This means that you have to offer the bait to the fish in a
slightly different manner. Many lakes have deep holes that you can find
either with sonar or topographic maps.
Winter
Whitefish
Whitefish spawn in mid-Nov; along the extensive sand,
gravel and stony shoals. Each female randomly drops from 5-15 thousand
eggs before returning to deeper water. The eggs hatch in late winter and
the young fish form schools that travel the shoal areas in search of food.
