Regan Lake Fishing Guide, Algoma, Ontario

• Overview

  In Ontario, Regan Lake belongs to Algoma. The ground around here is pine and birch. Around 79 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. You are looking at roughly 15 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. Compared with other Ontario water on our list, it sits high. Wawa sits 49 km from the bank. After that come Chapleau at 69 km and Sault Ste. Marie at 130 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Regan Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Algoma include walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Regan Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -15°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Regan Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Warbler Lake, 1.5 km out. Check the position at Regan Lake before loading the car.
