Fishing Allan Lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Timiskaming District, Ontario, is where Allan Lake sits. The bank is 335 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 17 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The whole outline is near 2.1 km, and most of it is walkable. The nearest place of any size is Kirkland Lake, 21 km away. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 218 km distant. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Allan Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Timiskaming District cover brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Allan Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 17°C in July. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Allan Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is a mapped slipway roughly 580 m away. Recorded parking is 1.1 km off, far enough to travel light. A campsite lies 640 m away for anyone staying over. Toilets show in mapping about 290 m away. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Vannier Lake, 0.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Allan Lake for certain.
