Booger Lake Fishing Guide, Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Booger Lake is a Kenora District water, Ontario side. It stands 375 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 30 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The bank runs about 4.2 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Kenora District. Supplies mean a trip to Sioux Lookout, 21 km off. Thunder Bay sits 282 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Booger Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Kenora District: northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Booger Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Booger Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. George Lake, 0.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Booger Lake before loading the car.
