Remi Lake Fishing in Cochrane District, Ontario

• Overview

  Within Cochrane District, Ontario, you have Remi Lake. The surface lies 225 metres up. It covers about 25.24 sq km, which means weather matters as much as tactics. There is roughly 53 km of bank, and each arm behaves like its own water. Few waters listed in Cochrane District are bigger. You are 20 km from Kapuskasing. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 338 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Remi Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Cochrane District, recorded fish include northern pike, yellow perch, white sucker, Iowa darter and logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Remi Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -18°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Remi Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows parking within 550 m. You can camp 940 m off, which suits an early start. There are picnic tables recorded roughly 510 m off. Facilities include toilets around 520 m from here. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Balsam Lake, 3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Remi Lake is worth confirming on the day.
