Pardich Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Pardich Lake is set in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The land about it is pine and birch. Small at around 4 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Timiskaming District standards. You are 63 km from Kirkland Lake. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 151 km distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Pardich Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Timiskaming District include brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Pardich Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -17°C in January. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Anyone fishing Pardich Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Tom Lake is 0.5 km distant. Check the current arrangement for Pardich Lake.
