Pall Lake Fishing near Kirkland Lake, Ontario

• Overview

  Pall Lake lies in Timiskaming District, in Ontario. The surface lies 333 metres up. At 5 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Timiskaming District. The nearest place of any size is Kirkland Lake, 25 km away. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 223 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Pall Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Timiskaming District, recorded fish include brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Pall Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 17°C in July. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Pall Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Mall Lake at 0.8 km is the nearest alternative.
