• Where to Fish on Braidwood Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Thunder Bay District records list cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee.
