Rotunda Lake Fishing in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Rotunda Lake in Sudbury, Ontario. Everything around it is lake country bush. It measures about 18 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing.

• Where to Fish on Rotunda Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Rotunda Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -14°C to 17°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Rotunda Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lawrence Lake, 3.1 km out. Confirm before you fish Rotunda Lake.
