Weedy Lake Fishing Guide, Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Weedy Lake in Sudbury, Ontario. The surroundings are pine and birch. It measures about 18 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Shoreline comes to about 1.8 km, small enough to learn in a day. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Ontario listings. Chapleau sits 60 km from here and is the nearest stop. Elliot Lake is 115 km away, with Blind River at 134 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Weedy Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Weedy Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -15°C to 17°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Weedy Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Mack Lake at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Weedy Lake before loading the car.
