Yenadizze Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Yenadizze Lake is a Nipissing District water, in Ontario. This is pine and birch ground. Small at around 4 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Nipissing District list. The town to know is Powassan, 26 km out. After that come South River at 29 km and Callander at 39 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Yenadizze Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Nipissing District cover smallmouth bass, cisco, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Yenadizze Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -13°C on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. That shapes the year on Yenadizze Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. You can camp 240 m off, which suits an early start. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. North Tea Lake sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Yenadizze Lake.
