Three Mile Lake Fishing in Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Three Mile Lake lies in Kenora District, in Ontario. The bank is 433 metres above sea level. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Kenora District standards. 5.3 km away sits Ignace, the nearest town. It is 216 km to Thunder Bay, the nearest city. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Three Mile Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. 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. Records held for Kenora District cover northern pike, longnose sucker, white sucker and johnny darter. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Three Mile Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in July and bottom out at -18°C in January. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Three Mile Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Osaquan Lake, 2.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Three Mile Lake locally before you travel.
