Whereabouts does Cree Lake sit?

It sits in Cochrane District, Ontario, at 244 metres. The nearest towns are Cochrane, 21 km, and Smooth Rock Falls, 49 km. It is further by road than it looks by air.

What area does Cree Lake cover?

Around 19 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Mapped area, so a little either way is normal. A marker float answers depth faster than guesswork.

Which fish live in Cree Lake?

Records held for Cochrane District cover northern pike, yellow perch and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water.

No figure for depth has reached our records. What tends to hold true: sandy shallows warm quickly and empty quickly. Some banks are closed in the breeding season.

Does Cree Lake ice over?

The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year.

Is Cree Lake trailerable?

Public mapping has no launch point here. Boat rules and bank rules are not always the same here. Two waters in a day works well when they sit close together.

AI Fishing Insight

Snow showers passing over the water, with light air out of the NNW and pressure going nowhere. Whatever swims in Cree Lake should be near structure within a cast of the bank. The best of it runs afternoon into evening. Push the good hours hard and rest through the dead ones. A properly cold day, so expect slow, deliberate fishing.

Cree Lake Fishing near Cochrane, Ontario

Overview
Cree Lake sits in Cochrane District, out in Ontario. It lies 244 metres above sea level. With some 19 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Around 2.1 km of margin, front to back. The closest town, Cochrane, is 21 km away. Smooth Rock Falls is 49 km and Iroquois Falls 57 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.
Where to Fish on Cree Lake
Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Cochrane District records list northern pike, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Cree Lake decides where the fish sit.
Seasonal Patterns
Expect July near 17°C and January near -19°C on the long-run figures. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Cree Lake.
Tackle & Baits
Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Jack Lake is 1.4 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Cree Lake for certain.
