Feldman Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Feldman Lake sits in Kenora District, out in Ontario. Northern bush runs right down to the water. Around 50 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. About 3.1 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Start from Longlac, 226 km down the road. Greenstone is 226 km away, with Geraldton at 228 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Feldman Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Kenora District cover northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Feldman Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -22°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. On Feldman Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Creede Lake is 4.8 km distant. For Feldman Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
