On size it sits at the modest end of our Thunder Bay District list. Some 18 km away sits Schreiber, the nearest settlement. Beyond it, Terrace Bay at 28 km and Nipigon at 66 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Demijohn Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt, bloater and shortjaw cisco. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Demijohn Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -17°C to 16°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Time your trip to Demijohn Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Zenith Lake is 0.7 km distant. Nothing on Demijohn Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
