Lake Whitefish Overview The Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) belongs to the Salmonidae family and Salmoniformes order. Often called "humpback" fish due to their small heads in proportion to their bodies, they're distinctive coldwater fish with silvery sides and olive to pale green backs. In Boston waters this winter, they provide excellent opportunities for inshore anglers seeking a quality catch with delicious food value. Lake Whitefish Habitat and Distribution Lake Whitefish typically inhabit deep, cold lakes and can be found in nearshore environments depending on water temperature. They prefer sandy or rocky bottoms and often congregate around reefs and structured areas. Around Boston, they can be found in coastal waters during cooler months, especially in areas with current breaks and transitional bottom structure. Lake Whitefish Size and Weight These fish typically range from 12 to 39 inches in length, with weights between 2 and 15 pounds. Average catches in Boston waters tend toward the middle of this range, with 3-5 pound specimens being common during winter fishing trips. Lake Whitefish Diet and Behavior They primarily feed on small invertebrates, including insect larvae, small crustaceans, and occasionally small fish. Their feeding behavior makes them perfect targets for drift fishing techniques with light tackle. They tend to be most active during early morning and late afternoon, especially on partly cloudy days when light penetration is diffused. Lake Whitefish Spawning Season These fish typically spawn in late fall to early winter when water temperatures drop below 45°F. They seek out rocky or gravelly areas for spawning grounds, which can make them more concentrated and easier to target during winter months in Boston's inshore waters. Lake Whitefish Fishing Techniques Drift fishing with light tackle produces excellent results, using small jigs tipped with waxworms or small minnows. Vertical jigging near bottom structure can be highly effective, especially when fish are holding in deeper water. In December around Boston, focusing on deeper channels with current movement often yields the best results. Lake Whitefish Is It Good to Eat?
