Fishing Log Boom Lake in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Log Boom Lake stands in Sudbury, Ontario. The setting is mixed forest on every side. It covers about 8 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Most waters listed here for Sudbury are larger. The closest town, Lively, is 35 km distant. Espanola is 44 km away, with Greater Sudbury at 45 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Log Boom Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Sudbury list smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Work Log Boom Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 19°C, while January sits near -11°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. The season on Log Boom Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Overnight stays are possible 970 m away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Clearsilver Lake is 1.6 km off. Check the position on Log Boom Lake before loading the car.
