Point Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Point Lake lies in Cochrane District, Ontario. The land about it is rolling bush. At roughly 9 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Cochrane District. The nearest town is Iroquois Falls, 25 km away. Timmins follows at 37 km, then Cochrane at 57 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Point Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Cochrane District records list northern pike, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Point Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 17°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Point Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Deer Lake is 0.6 km distant. Check the position on Point Lake before loading the car.
