Beaver Lake Fishing Guide, Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Beaver Lake in Algoma, Ontario. Height above sea level is 313 metres. At about 88 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. About 4.2 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Hornepayne sits 38 km from the bank. Hearst is 100 km and Manitouwadge 103 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Across Algoma, recorded fish include walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The near bank of Beaver Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 17°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It holds true on Beaver Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Kabinakagami Lake is 5.9 km distant. Treat access at Beaver Lake as something to verify.
