Tremblay Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Sudbury, Ontario. What surrounds it is rolling bush. With some 23 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The full circuit measures close to 4.0 km on foot. Dowling at 44 km is the nearest place to stop. Greater Sudbury sits 72 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Tremblay Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. 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 -14°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Tremblay Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Franklin Lake, 2.8 km away. Treat access at Tremblay Lake as something to verify.
