Mullen Lake Fishing Guide, Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  Algoma, Ontario, is where Mullen Lake sits. The water sits 377 metres up. Around 24 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 2.4 km of margin, front to back. Start from Wawa, 53 km down the road. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 301 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Mullen Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. 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. Algoma records list walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Mullen Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -16°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It sets the rhythm of the year at Mullen Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Ballard Lake is 1.4 km off. Confirm before you fish Mullen Lake.
