Lynx Lake Fishing near Temiskaming Shores, Ontario

• Overview

  Lynx Lake is listed under Nipissing District, Ontario. The surface lies 309 metres up. The water covers some 16 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 3.6 km, and most of it is walkable. Start from Temiskaming Shores, 39 km down the road. It is 109 km to Greater Sudbury, the nearest city. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lynx Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Nipissing District include smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Lynx Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -16°C on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. That is the shape of the year on Lynx Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Turner Lake at 3.2 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lynx Lake before loading the car.
