Lipton Lake in Timiskaming District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  The Timiskaming District entry here is Lipton Lake, in Ontario. It sits at 362 metres above sea level. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Timiskaming District. The closest town, Timmins, is 68 km away. Kirkland Lake is 75 km away, with Englehart at 83 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lipton Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Timiskaming District include brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Lipton Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -17°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Lipton Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Midlothian Lake is 2 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lipton Lake.
