Beaverstone Lake Fishing Guide, Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Beaverstone Lake falls in Sudbury, part of Ontario. The ground around here is mixed forest. With some 38 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. There is roughly 3.7 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Ground here is low by Ontario standards. The town to know is Lively, 46 km out. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 53 km distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Beaverstone 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. Reported across Sudbury: smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Beaverstone Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 19°C in July and bottoms out near -10°C in January. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That shapes the year on Beaverstone Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Missery Lake is 2.7 km off. The position on Beaverstone Lake is worth confirming on the day.
