Tee Lake in Sudbury: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Ontario holds Tee Lake, in Sudbury. It sits at 267 metres above sea level. This is sizeable water at about 1.41 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. There is roughly 13 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. It ranks high for size among our Sudbury listings. For a base, Markstay-Warren sits 38 km out. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 65 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Tee Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Tee Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -14°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Tee Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Apple Lake is 1.4 km distant. Check the current arrangement for Tee Lake.
