Wrigley Lake Fishing Guide, Sudbury, Ontario

• Overview

  In Ontario, Wrigley Lake falls inside Sudbury. The bank is 356 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 14 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Bank access stretches around 1.6 km in total. Most waters listed here for Sudbury are larger. Timmins is the closest town at 62 km. Further out sit Kirkland Lake (94 km) and Englehart (103 km). This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Wrigley Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Reported across Sudbury: smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Wrigley Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -17°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on Wrigley Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Pountney Lake sits 1.9 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Wrigley Lake in what we hold.
