Redpine Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Redpine Lake falls in Greater Sudbury, part of Ontario. It stands 325 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. On size it sits at the modest end of our Greater Sudbury list. For supplies, Capreol is 36 km out. Greater Sudbury sits 60 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Redpine Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Greater Sudbury list smallmouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike, pumpkinseed and rock bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Redpine Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -15°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. It sets the rhythm of the year at Redpine Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Adelaide Lake is 0.9 km off.
