Edleston Lake Fishing Guide, Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Edleston Lake is listed under Sudbury, Ontario. It sits at 351 metres above sea level. The water covers some 20 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Around 4.2 km of margin, front to back. For supplies, Timmins is 61 km out. Kirkland Lake lies 99 km off, Iroquois Falls another 106 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Edleston Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Edleston Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -17°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish Edleston Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Budd Lake, 1 km away. Nothing here settles the position at Edleston Lake for certain.
