Blueberry Lake Fishing Guide, Nipissing District, Ontario

• Overview

  The Nipissing District entry here is Blueberry Lake, in Ontario. What surrounds it is lake country bush. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Nipissing District list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, United Townships of Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt, Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde is 35 km out. Further out sit Haliburton Village (52 km) and Huntsville (61 km). It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Nipissing District, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, cisco, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. The county list is broader than any single water. On Blueberry Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -12°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. On Blueberry Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Fin Lake is 1.2 km off. What applies at Blueberry Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
