Fishing Upper Kasasway Lake in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  Upper Kasasway Lake lies in Sudbury, in Ontario. Height above sea level is 368 metres. At 1.29 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. You are looking at roughly 13 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. Few waters listed in Sudbury are bigger. The closest town, Timmins, is 73 km away. Then Chapleau, 110 km, and Iroquois Falls, 130 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Upper Kasasway Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Treat Upper Kasasway Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -17°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Upper Kasasway Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Wee Lake, 1.2 km away. Where Upper Kasasway Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
