Mart Lake Fishing Guide, Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  The Algoma entry here is Mart Lake, in Ontario. Beyond the shoreline you have rolling bush. At about 20 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Shoreline comes to about 2.6 km, small enough to learn in a day. It sits higher than most water we list in Ontario. Chapleau lies 79 km from the water. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 224 km distant. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Mart Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Algoma records list walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The near bank of Mart Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 17°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Mart Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Reedy Lake is 3.2 km off. Check the current arrangement for Mart Lake.
