Teesquare Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Teesquare Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Reported across Thunder Bay District: cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt and bloater. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Teesquare Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -18°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The ice season is long here and the open one short. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Teesquare Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Fitzpatrick Lake, 2.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Teesquare Lake before loading the car.
