My Lake near Manitouwadge: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  You will find My Lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. Land around it is boreal forest. With some 29 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The whole outline is near 4.2 km, and most of it is walkable. For supplies, Manitouwadge is 27 km out. Terrace Bay follows at 74 km, then Schreiber at 85 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on My Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. My Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -16°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Anyone fishing My Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Fourbay Lake is 3.6 km off. Signs at My Lake carry more weight than any list.
