• Where to Fish on Cemetery Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Sudbury records list smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Cemetery Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 19°C at the top of summer and -12°C at the bottom of winter. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between late April and early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan any trip to Cemetery Lake around it.
