Little Avery Lake Fishing in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Little Avery Lake is listed under Sudbury, Ontario. Around the bank it is mixed forest. At about 52 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. There is roughly 4.9 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. The closest town, Capreol, is 58 km distant. Beyond it, Valley East at 62 km and Rayside-Balfour at 64 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Little Avery Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Take Little Avery Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -16°C in January and 17°C in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. At Little Avery Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Seagull Lake is 2.4 km distant. Ask locally about Little Avery Lake if anything is unclear.
