Jordan Lake in Timiskaming District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Jordan Lake in the Timiskaming District part of Ontario. It sits at 323 metres above sea level. The water covers some 28 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. There is roughly 3.7 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Timmins lies 40 km from the water. Then Iroquois Falls, 97 km, and Cochrane, 100 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Jordan Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Across Timiskaming District, recorded fish include brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Jordan Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 17°C and January reads -17°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Jordan Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Lundberg Lake, 1.6 km out. Nothing on Jordan Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
