Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 53 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Proulx Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Sudbury cover smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The shape of Proulx Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 19°C and January near -10°C on the long-run figures. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near early December in autumn. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. It holds true on Proulx Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. You can camp about 180 m away, going by the mapping. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Little Superior Lake, 0.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Proulx Lake before loading the car.
