• Where to Fish on Ace Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Kenora District cover northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker and johnny darter. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Take Ace Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -21°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. On Ace Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Pashkokogan Lake sits 9.7 km off and takes the overflow.
