Tee Lake Fishing in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Tee Lake is a Sudbury water, Ontario side. The water sits 421 metres up. At about 45 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. There is roughly 5.0 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. Dowling sits 49 km from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Greater Sudbury is 78 km off. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Tee Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Take Tee Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -14°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That is the shape of the year on Tee Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Tomasina Lake at 4.2 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Tee Lake in what we hold.
