Lac Cherie Fishing in Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Lac Cherie in Algoma, Ontario. Everything around it is pine and birch. This is sizeable water at about 2.27 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. With 23 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. Size puts it in the front rank of our Algoma list. The nearest place of any size is Sault Ste. Marie, 72 km away. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 215 km distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Cherie

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Algoma include walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Cherie a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -14°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect Lac Cherie to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Tujak Lake is 3.3 km distant.
