Ferguson Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Ferguson Lake is listed under Sudbury, Ontario. The bank is 423 metres above sea level. At 6 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Our Sudbury list holds plenty of bigger water. Dowling is the closest place, 20 km off. It is 48 km to Greater Sudbury, the nearest city. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Ferguson Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Sudbury cover smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Ferguson Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -14°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Ferguson Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Green Lake, 1.3 km away. None of that is settled for Ferguson Lake in what we hold.
