Trojek Lake Fishing Guide, Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  Trojek Lake lies in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. Everything around it is boreal forest. About 1.59 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. Some 11 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Size puts it in the front rank of our Thunder Bay District list. Lappe is the closest place, 75 km off. Shuniah Township is 82 km away, with Nipigon at 85 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Trojek Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Thunder Bay District records list cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Trojek Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -20°C in January and 17°C in July. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Trojek Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Pesheau Lake is 1.8 km off. Check the position on Trojek Lake before loading the car.
