Tremblay Lake near Témiscaming: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  In Ontario, Tremblay Lake falls inside Nipissing District. The land about it is pine and birch. Roughly 35 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Roughly 4.0 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. The nearest place of any size is Témiscaming, 22 km away. For a city, Greater Sudbury is 150 km off. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Tremblay Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Nipissing District cover smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Tremblay Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -13°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Tremblay Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. 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. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Sparks Lake at 1.9 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Tremblay Lake for certain.
