• Where to Fish on Pamela Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Thunder Bay District records list cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Pamela Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -19°C in January. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Pamela Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Overnight stays are possible about 390 m out, where camping is mapped. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems.
