Fishing Ted Lake in Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Ted Lake is one of the Kenora District listings for Ontario. It sits in rolling bush. Small at around 7 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Kenora District. Ignace is the closest place, 46 km off. The nearest city of size is Thunder Bay, 203 km away. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Ted Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Kenora District list northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker and johnny darter. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Ted Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -20°C on the long-run figures. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Ted Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Swanzy Lake is 2.4 km off. None of that is settled for Ted Lake in what we hold.
