Casque Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Nipissing District, Ontario, you have Casque Lake. It lies 435 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for Nipissing District are larger. Powassan is the closest place, 42 km off. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 178 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Casque Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Nipissing District, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, cisco, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Casque Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -13°C on the long-run figures. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. It holds true on Casque Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Jolly Lake is 1 km off. Check the position on Casque Lake before loading the car.
