Perrault Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Perrault Lake is a Kenora District water, Ontario side. It stands 360 metres above sea level. It covers about 35.20 sq km, which means weather matters as much as tactics. With about 83 km of shoreline, local advice saves a lot of walking. On our Kenora District list it sits near the top for size. Vermilion Bay sits 51 km from the bank. The big place round here is Winnipeg, 290 km distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Perrault Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker, johnny darter and logperch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Perrault Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -18°C to 18°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect Perrault Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Spadina Lake, 3.2 km out. Nothing on Perrault Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
