Metevier Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Metevier Lake lies within the bounds of Algoma, Ontario. The surface lies 296 metres up. Small at around 10 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The edge runs 1.4 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Algoma. For supplies, Elliot Lake is 3.4 km out. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 124 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Metevier Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Algoma: walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Metevier Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in July and bottom out at -11°C in January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Metevier Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Nordic Lake sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow.
