Felcite Lake near Wawa: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Felcite Lake is one of the Algoma listings for Ontario. It stands 258 metres above sea level. The water covers some 12 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Algoma. For supplies, Wawa is 8.8 km out. After that come Chapleau at 112 km and Hornepayne at 138 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Felcite Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Algoma include walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Felcite Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -12°C and August at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Felcite Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Cinders Lake at 0.8 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Felcite Lake are worth checking on the day.
