Tweedle Lake near Elliot Lake: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Tweedle Lake belongs to Algoma, Ontario. It stands 234 metres above sea level. With some 70 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. With 10 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. It is low-lying compared with other Ontario water we list. Supplies mean a trip to Elliot Lake, 21 km off. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 112 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Tweedle Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Algoma include walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Tweedle Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -11°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about early December in a typical year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Tweedle Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Shedden Lake is 1.8 km distant.
