Fishing at Boodis Lake, Parry Sound District, Ontario

• Overview

  Boodis Lake is a Parry Sound District water, in Ontario. The surroundings are lake country bush. With some 35 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 4.5 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Ground here is low by Ontario standards. Sturgeon Falls is the closest place, 44 km off. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 92 km distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

At Boodis Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 19°C on average, January about -11°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Circle Lake at 1.4 km is the nearest alternative. The position on Boodis Lake is worth confirming on the day.
