Voodoo Lake Fishing Guide, Kenora District, Ontario

• Overview

  Ontario holds Voodoo Lake, in Kenora District. The surface lies 407 metres up. It runs to roughly 33 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Bank access stretches around 2.5 km in total. Our Kenora District list holds plenty of bigger water. Nearest town is Sioux Lookout, 39 km off. The nearest city of size is Thunder Bay, 237 km away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Voodoo Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Kenora District include northern pike, longnose sucker and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Treat Voodoo Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -19°C in January and 18°C in July. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Voodoo Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Upper Pepperbell Lake, 2.7 km out. Treat access at Voodoo Lake as something to verify.
