• Overview

  Timiskaming District in Ontario is where Worry Lake sits. Height above sea level is 385 metres. The water measures roughly 4 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else.

The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Worry Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Timiskaming District: brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Worry Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Expect Worry Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Frog Lake is 0.8 km distant. Treat access at Worry Lake as something to verify.
