Fishing Le Moyne Lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Le Moyne Lake sits in Timiskaming District, out in Ontario. Height above sea level is 280 metres. This is sizeable water at about 1.04 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The margin runs to about 6.2 km in total. It ranks high for size among our Timiskaming District listings. The town to know is Temiskaming Shores, 15 km out. Greater Sudbury sits 138 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Le Moyne Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. The county list is broader than any single water. Take Le Moyne Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -16°C at the bottom of winter. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That shapes the year on Le Moyne Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Belle Isle Lake at 3.1 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Le Moyne Lake in what we hold.
