Fishing Dubroy Lake in Cochrane District, Ontario

• Overview

  Dubroy Lake is set in Cochrane District, Ontario. It sits in rolling bush country. At roughly 3 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Cochrane District standards. You are 9.1 km from Timmins. Iroquois Falls is 65 km away, with Cochrane at 72 km. Near neighbours include: Horseshoe Lake after 0.3 km, Deep Lake within 0.4 km, Fly Lake after 1.4 km, Cook's Lake within 1.8 km and Waterhen Lake after 3.8 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Dubroy Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Cochrane District records list northern pike, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of Dubroy Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -17°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Dubroy Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is a jetty 580 m off, worth knowing on a busy day. You can camp about 510 m away, going by the mapping. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Horseshoe Lake sits 0.3 km off and takes the overflow. Where Dubroy Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
