Lac aux Cypres Fishing Guide, Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  The Algoma end of Ontario holds Lac aux Cypres. What surrounds it is northern bush. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. On size it sits at the modest end of our Algoma list. The nearest town is Wawa, 41 km away. Manitouwadge is 109 km away, with Hornepayne at 112 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac aux Cypres

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Algoma records list walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lac aux Cypres fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac aux Cypres.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Sad Lake, 4.4 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Lac aux Cypres for certain.
