Stull Lake in Algoma: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Stull Lake is set in Algoma, Ontario. Country round the bank runs to lake country bush. Surface area runs to about 9 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Bank access stretches around 1.3 km in total. Our Algoma list holds plenty of bigger water. Thessalon sits 48 km from here and is the nearest stop. Blind River follows at 51 km, then Elliot Lake at 51 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Stull Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Algoma include walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Fish Stull Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -13°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Expect Stull Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Papineau Lake is 1.3 km distant. For Stull Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
