Rosina Lake Fishing near Kenora, Ontario

• Overview

  In Ontario, Rosina Lake falls inside Kenora District. It sits in lake country bush. This is sizeable water at about 1.56 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. 21 km away sits Kenora, the nearest town. Then Moose Lake, 76 km, and Vermilion Bay, 100 km. If this one is busy: Raspberry Lake about 1.1 km, Belle Lake at 2.5 km, Trout Lake about 2.9 km, Meekin Lake at 3.1 km and Annie Lake about 3.3 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Rosina Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Kenora District list northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker and johnny darter. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Rosina Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 19°C at the top of summer and -18°C at the bottom of winter. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan around that when you fish Rosina Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Raspberry Lake is 1.1 km off. Confirm before you fish Rosina Lake.
