Pasquino Lake Fishing Guide, Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Kenora District, Ontario, is where Pasquino Lake sits. It lies 311 metres above sea level. It measures about 44 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With about 3.9 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Start from Greenstone, 260 km down the road. Further out sit Sioux Lookout (268 km) and Geraldton (269 km). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Pasquino Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Pasquino Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -22°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Pasquino Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Jervis Bay Lake, 12 km away, makes the obvious fallback. For Pasquino Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
