Pardee Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Pardee Lake sits within Algoma in Ontario. The setting is mixed forest on every side. At 8 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 Algoma. Some 8.2 km away sits Elliot Lake, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 118 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Pardee Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The near bank of Pardee Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -11°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Pardee Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Stinson Lake sits 1 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Pardee Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
