Lemoine Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Cochrane District, Ontario. The water sits 321 metres up. At about 14 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The full circuit measures close to 1.8 km on foot. Kirkland Lake is the closest place, 48 km off. After that come Timmins at 55 km and Iroquois Falls at 56 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lemoine Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Cochrane District list northern pike, yellow perch, white sucker and Iowa darter. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lemoine Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 17°C and January reads -18°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Lemoine Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Hill Lake, 0.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Lemoine Lake before loading the car.
