Kenneally Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Kenora District, Ontario. Around the bank it is lake country bush. It measures about 23 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. About 3.8 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Kenora District. Sioux Lookout sits 5.4 km from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Thunder Bay is 277 km off. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Kenneally Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Kenora District, recorded fish include northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Kenneally Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Kenneally Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Limited Lake, 2 km away. Signs at Kenneally Lake carry more weight than any list.
