Fish documented in Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt and bloater. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Lamont Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -15°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Lamont Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others.
