Fishing Lucille Lake in Algoma, Ontario

  Lucille Lake sits in Algoma, out in Ontario. The setting is rolling bush. Roughly 46 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The edge covers about 6.3 km, enough to hold several distinct areas. Thessalon sits 42 km from the bank. Greater Sudbury sits 194 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lucille Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Algoma records list walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Work Lucille Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.
