Creepy Lake Fishing in Nipissing District, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Creepy Lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. What surrounds it is mixed forest. It measures about 11 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The bank runs about 1.7 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Ontario listings. Chalk River sits 53 km from the bank. After that come Deep River at 57 km and Petawawa at 58 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Creepy Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. 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. Across Nipissing District, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work Creepy Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 18°C and January near -13°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan any trip to Creepy Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. You can camp 1.2 km off, which suits an early start. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Roundbush Lake is 1.5 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Creepy Lake for certain.
