Kasasway Lake Fishing in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Set in Sudbury, Kasasway Lake is an Ontario water. Country round the bank runs to taiga. The water covers around 2.29 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. At about 20 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. Size puts it in the front rank of our Sudbury list. The closest town, Timmins, is 76 km away. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 174 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Kasasway Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Sudbury records list smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Kasasway Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -17°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Kasasway Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Katagi Lake, 3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Kasasway Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
