• Overview

  You will find Grimard Lake in Algoma, Ontario. The surface lies 374 metres up. Around 25 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work.

This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Grimard Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Algoma records list walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Grimard Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 18°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Grimard Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Corner Lake sits 2.4 km off and takes the overflow.
