• Where to Fish on Gordon Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The near bank of Gordon Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 19°C, the coldest about -19°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Gordon Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Werner Lake, 2.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Gordon Lake.
