Sedum Lake Fishing in Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  Sedum Lake is a Thunder Bay District water, Ontario side. The setting is boreal forest. It measures about 39 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Around 4.3 km of margin, front to back. Longlac at 46 km is the nearest place to stop. The big place round here is Thunder Bay, 223 km distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Sedum Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt, bloater and shortjaw cisco. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The shape of Sedum Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -18°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. 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. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Expect Sedum Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Akebia Creek sits 2.3 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Sedum Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
