Toodee Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Toodee Lake in Algoma, Ontario. Elevation runs to 430 metres. This is sizeable water at about 1.38 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The perimeter runs near 14 km, so plan the walk before you start. It is among the larger waters listed here for Algoma. Elliot Lake sits 58 km from the bank. For a city, Greater Sudbury is 169 km off. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Toodee Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name walleye, northern pike and Iowa darter. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Toodee Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -13°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Toodee Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Hyslop Lake is 1.2 km off. Check the current arrangement for Toodee Lake.
