Fishing Weblett Lake in Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  In Ontario, Weblett Lake belongs to Sudbury. It lies 408 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 61 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The margin runs to about 6.4 km in total. Some 75 km away sits Dowling, the nearest settlement. Rayside-Balfour is 76 km and Capreol 78 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Weblett Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Sudbury include smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Weblett Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 17°C and January near -16°C on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Weblett Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Bayshell Lake sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow.
