• Where to Fish on Lula Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Timiskaming District include brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Anyone new to Lula Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -17°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lula Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Dokis Lake, 2.9 km out. Nothing on Lula Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
