Gundy Lake Fishing in Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Ontario holds Gundy Lake, in Kenora District. The ground round it is mixed forest. At some 2.50 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. Kenora is the closest place, 39 km off. Winnipeg is the closest city, 152 km away. Close by you also have: Royal Lake 1.5 km, Chat Lake (2.4 km), Kanatan Lake 2.7 km, Nahany Lake (2.8 km) and Harvey Lake 3.2 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Gundy Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Kenora District: northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Gundy Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 19°C and January reads -19°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan any trip to Gundy Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Royal Lake, 1.5 km away. Check the current arrangement for Gundy Lake.
