Taylor Lake Fishing in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Taylor Lake in Sudbury, Ontario. This is spruce and muskeg ground. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Sudbury list holds plenty of bigger water. Chapleau sits 81 km from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Timmins at 88 km and Smooth Rock Falls at 134 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Taylor Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Fish documented in Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Taylor Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 17°C and January near -17°C on the long-run figures. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan around that when you fish Taylor Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Roadside Lake at 1.6 km is the nearest alternative. Signs at Taylor Lake carry more weight than any list.
