Long Lake Fishing Guide, Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  In Ontario, Long Lake falls inside Timiskaming District. It stands 319 metres above sea level. Around 32 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The bank runs about 4.1 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. You are 5.9 km from Kirkland Lake. Further out sit Englehart (35 km) and Rouyn-Noranda (70 km). There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Long Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Timiskaming District, recorded fish include brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Long Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -17°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Long Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Turtle Lake, 1.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
