Blueberry Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Blueberry Lake lies in Kenora District, in Ontario. It stands 387 metres above sea level. It measures about 24 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With about 2.5 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Kenora District. The nearest place of any size is Kenora, 35 km away. For a city, Winnipeg is 218 km off. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Blueberry Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -18°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. The season on Blueberry Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Wild Lake, 1.4 km away. The position on Blueberry Lake is worth confirming on the day.
