Sedi Lake near Geraldton: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  You will find Sedi Lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. Height above sea level is 338 metres. Roughly 29 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. With 6.2 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. Geraldton is the closest town at 6.5 km. Greenstone is 14 km and Longlac 32 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Sedi Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt, bloater and shortjaw cisco. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Sedi Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -20°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Sedi Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Hilder Lake, 0.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Sedi Lake before loading the car.
