Marguerite Lake Fishing in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Marguerite Lake is a Sudbury water, Ontario side. Elevation runs to 444 metres. It runs to roughly 34 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The perimeter runs near 5.3 km, so plan the walk before you start. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Ontario listings. Dowling sits 41 km from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Rayside-Balfour (49 km) and Espanola (56 km). There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Marguerite Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Marguerite Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -14°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Marguerite Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Duck Lake, 2.1 km away. Nothing on Marguerite Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
