Fishing splake around Kenora

Anglers based in Kenora have 32 documented waters holding splake within a reasonable drive, which makes picking today's water the real decision. That choice is exactly what the daily scores are for: every water on this page is re-scored each morning, so the order reflects current conditions, not last season's stories.

Aikens Lake (Red Lake) leads today's ranking at a score of 79 (about 170 km from Kenora, roughly 13 m of water at its deepest). Falcon Creek follows at 79 (about 60 km from Kenora). Davidson Lake (Kenora), scoring 79, rounds out the current leaders (roughly 14 m of water at its deepest). Each number compresses the day's weather, modelled water temperature at depth and how well those conditions suit splake into one comparable score.

Splake are a hatchery cross between brook trout and lake trout, stocked widely because they grow faster than brook trout while staying more catchable in accessible depths than lake trout - a genuinely practical middle ground for a coldwater fishery. Splake swim in smaller lakes stocked by the Ontario MNRF, using both parent habitats: shallow fertile flats with weeds and downed trees plus nearby hard rock breaklines and boulder ledges dropping toward 25 to 30 feet. Cover water and adjust often: through the ice, jig a Williams spoon or tube while a minnow soaks on a second line; in open water, cast small in-line spinners, spoons or drift a minnow under a slip bobber.

Everything above is recomputed daily - the numbers on this page reflect September 14, 2026 - so check back before committing to a water: the leaders genuinely change as weather systems move through.
