By elevation it is in the upper part of our Ontario listings. Start from Lappe, 68 km down the road. County Park is 82 km away, with Shuniah Township at 83 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Taman Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Thunder Bay District, recorded fish include cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt and bloater. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The near bank of Taman Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -20°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Taman Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Sallows Lake sits 4.6 km off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Taman Lake if anything is unclear.
