• Overview

  Set in Sudbury, Ontario, this is Trem Lake. The surface lies 366 metres up. At about 20 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly.

• Where to Fish on Trem Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Sudbury cover smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Treat Trem Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -17°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Time your trip to Trem Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Battley Lake at 1.2 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Trem Lake for certain.
