Larrabee Lake Fishing Guide, Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Larrabee Lake sits in Sudbury, out in Ontario. It sits at 387 metres above sea level. The water covers some 67 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The edge covers about 6.0 km, enough to hold several distinct areas. The nearest town is Timmins, 74 km away. Further out sit Chapleau (103 km) and Iroquois Falls (132 km). It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Larrabee Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Sudbury names smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Larrabee Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -17°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Larrabee Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Fool Lake at 1.8 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Larrabee Lake locally before you travel.
