Lennon Lake near Hornepayne: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Ontario holds Lennon Lake, in Algoma. The setting is taiga on every side. Around 73 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The margin runs to about 6.9 km in total. Head to Hornepayne, 11 km away, for anything you forgot. Manitouwadge lies 76 km off, Hearst another 94 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lennon Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Algoma names walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Lennon Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lennon Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lily Lake, 3.8 km away. None of that is settled for Lennon Lake in what we hold.
