Fourth Lake Fishing in Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Fourth Lake belongs to Kenora District, Ontario. Land around it is lake country bush. With some 33 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Roughly 3.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. On size it sits at the modest end of our Kenora District list. Kenora is the closest place, 48 km off. Lac du Bonnet is 97 km away, with Vermilion Bay at 100 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Fourth Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Kenora District records list northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. At Fourth Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -18°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Fourth Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Snook Lake, 1.4 km away. Treat access at Fourth Lake as something to verify.
