Blueberry Lake Fishing in Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  Blueberry Lake lies in Algoma, in Ontario. The water sits 331 metres up. It runs to roughly 32 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The full circuit measures close to 4.2 km on foot. Head to Wawa, 12 km away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 332 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. 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. The county list is broader than any single water. Blueberry Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -15°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about mid November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. On Blueberry Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Mildred Lake, 1.7 km away. For Blueberry Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
