Twentyseven Lake Fishing Guide, Parry Sound District, Ontario

• Overview

  Twentyseven Lake is one of the Parry Sound District waters in Ontario. The country round it is rolling bush from end to end. Around 41 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Shoreline comes to about 3.5 km, small enough to learn in a day. The nearest place of any size is South River, 13 km away. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 152 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Twentyseven Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Twentyseven Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -12°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Expect Twentyseven Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Denis Lake is 1.5 km off. Nothing on Twentyseven Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
