Polliwog Lake Fishing in Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Polliwog Lake belongs to Timiskaming District, Ontario. It stands 355 metres above sea level. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Timiskaming District standards. Head to Englehart, 80 km away, for anything you forgot. Kirkland Lake is 83 km away, with Timmins at 92 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Polliwog Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Fish Polliwog Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -16°C in January. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Polliwog Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Silverfive Lake sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Polliwog Lake before loading the car.
