Nearby Lakes

Little Knouff Lake - Little Knouff Lake with a surface area of 40 ha. (99 ac.) is located just minutes to the north of Knouff Lake. It is a shallow lake with a marl bottom that can on occassion produce large Rainbows. Most of the fishing is concentrated in a small area of deep water located in the centre of the lake, however, fly fishermen do well exploring the shoal areas especially near dusk when larger fish come into feed.
