• Where to Fish on Allard Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Algoma cover walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish Allard Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -11°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan any trip to Allard Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Nettleton Lake sits 2.7 km off and takes the overflow. For Allard Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
