One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Timia Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Survey and observation records for Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Timia Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -17°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. On Timia Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Amik Lake sits 3.1 km off and takes the overflow. For Timia Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
