Syenite Lake near Wawa: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Ontario holds Syenite Lake, in Algoma. It lies 414 metres above sea level. With some 24 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 4.4 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Wawa is the closest place, 34 km off. Thunder Bay is the closest city, 315 km away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Syenite Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Algoma include walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Syenite Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -16°C to 16°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. It holds true on Syenite Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, White Water Lily Lake is 0.8 km off. Treat Syenite Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
