Open biodiversity records for Thunder Bay District list cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Take Libra Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Scorpius Lake at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Libra Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
