Cedarclump Lake in Kenora District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Cedarclump Lake lies in Kenora District, in Ontario. The ground around here is pine and birch. Around 11 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. About 1.3 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Kenora District. Nearest town is Sioux Lookout, 73 km off. The nearest city of size is Thunder Bay, 208 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Cedarclump Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. On Cedarclump Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -20°C in January to roughly 18°C in July. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Cedarclump Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Wattle Lake, 1.4 km out. Treat Cedarclump Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
