• Where to Fish on Grew Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt, bloater and shortjaw cisco. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Take Grew Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -20°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Grew Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Loganberry Lake at 4.4 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Grew Lake carry more weight than any list.
