East Revell Lake in Kenora District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  East Revell Lake stands in Kenora District, Ontario. Height above sea level is 453 metres. Roughly 20 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. There is roughly 3.6 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Our Kenora District list holds plenty of bigger water. You are 25 km from Ignace. The big place round here is Thunder Bay, 233 km distant. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on East Revell Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At East Revell Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 18°C and January near -18°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Time your trip to East Revell Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Revell Lake, 2.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to East Revell Lake locally before you travel.
