Deep Lake Fishing in Cochrane District, Ontario

• Overview

  Deep Lake lies in Cochrane District, Ontario. It sits at 285 metres above sea level. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Cochrane District. Nearest town is Timmins, 8.9 km off. Then Iroquois Falls, 65 km, and Cochrane, 73 km. Nearby, in order: Horseshoe Lake near enough 0.4 km, Dubroy Lake (0.4 km), Cook's Lake near enough 1.4 km, Fly Lake (1.9 km) and Waterhen Lake near enough 3.4 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Deep Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Cochrane District include northern pike, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Deep Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 17°C in July. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Deep Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is a jetty 540 m off, worth knowing on a busy day. A camping area sits within 600 m of here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Horseshoe Lake at 0.4 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Deep Lake in what we hold.
