• Where to Fish on Agnew Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Sudbury records list smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The shape of Agnew Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -12°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Agnew Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Being dammed, it draws down in some seasons and fills in others. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Hunter Lake is 2.7 km off. Confirm before you fish Agnew Lake.
