Teardrop Lake Fishing in Nipissing District, Ontario

• Overview

  Teardrop Lake lies within the bounds of Nipissing District, Ontario. It sits at 468 metres above sea level. At roughly 5 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. On size it sits at the modest end of our Nipissing District list. Barrie sits 143 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Teardrop Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Take Teardrop Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -12°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It holds true on Teardrop Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Lemon Lake at 2.4 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Teardrop Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
