Little Muldrew Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Sudbury end of Ontario holds Little Muldrew Lake. The land about it is lake country bush. At about 62 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The margin runs to about 5.5 km in total. You are 46 km from Dowling. Further out sit Rayside-Balfour (50 km) and Valley East (58 km). The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Little Muldrew Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Sudbury cover smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Little Muldrew Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -15°C to 17°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. On Little Muldrew Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Antrim Lake is 3.2 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Little Muldrew Lake for certain.
