Final Lake Fishing in Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Final Lake is set in Kenora District, Ontario. The surface lies 341 metres up. It covers about 8 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is a small entry by Kenora District standards. Vermilion Bay is the closest town at 8.3 km. The big place round here is Winnipeg, 275 km distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Final Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Final Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -18°C in January and 18°C in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. It holds true on Final Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Wildrice Lake is 1.8 km off. Treat access at Final Lake as something to verify.
