Fishing at Teddy Lake, Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Teddy Lake lies within the bounds of Timiskaming District, Ontario. It stands 356 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 11 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat.

No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Teddy Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Timiskaming District include brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Treat Teddy Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -17°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan any trip to Teddy Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Corkscrew Lake at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Teddy Lake as something to verify.
