Twit Lake Fishing in Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  The Thunder Bay District entry here is Twit Lake, in Ontario. The ground round it is northern bush. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for Thunder Bay District are larger. Start from Nipigon, 37 km down the road. After that come Amethyst Harbour at 72 km and Shuniah Township at 79 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Twit Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Thunder Bay District include cisco, blackfin cisco, rainbow smelt and bloater. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Twit Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -18°C for January. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Twit Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Twerp Lake, 0.9 km out. Rules at Twit Lake are worth checking on the day.
