Mountdew Lake Fishing in Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Mountdew Lake is a Kenora District water, Ontario side. It stands 387 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 72 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The perimeter runs near 5.5 km, so plan the walk before you start. Dryden at 41 km is the nearest place to stop. Then Vermilion Bay, 72 km, and Ignace, 73 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Mountdew Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Mountdew Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -18°C in January up to 18°C in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Mountdew Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Selby Lake at 2.9 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Mountdew Lake for certain.
