Fishing at Webb Lake, Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Webb Lake is set in Timiskaming District, Ontario. Elevation runs to 316 metres. Surface area is around 21 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat.

No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Webb Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Reported across Timiskaming District: brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The near bank of Webb Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -17°C to 17°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan any trip to Webb Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Knott Lake, 1.2 km out. None of that is settled for Webb Lake in what we hold.
