Foxear Lake Fishing in Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  Foxear Lake lies in Thunder Bay District, in Ontario. The country round it is taiga from end to end. It runs to roughly 73 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The outline measures near 7.7 km, so local knowledge counts. Greenstone lies 34 km from the water. Then Geraldton, 50 km, and Longlac, 80 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Foxear Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Open biodiversity records for Thunder Bay District list cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Treat Foxear Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -20°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. The season on Foxear Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Ida Lake is 2.3 km distant. Check the position at Foxear Lake before loading the car.
