Rawhide Lake Fishing near Elliot Lake, Ontario

• Overview

  Algoma in Ontario is where Rawhide Lake sits. It lies 385 metres above sea level. Roughly 9.52 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. The outline measures near 30 km, so a boat opens up water the bank never reaches. It is among the larger waters listed here for Algoma. Elliot Lake is the closest place, 30 km off. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 126 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Rawhide Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Algoma cover walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Rawhide Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -12°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Rawhide Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Larry Lake at 2 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Rawhide Lake are worth checking on the day.
