Lac Dixon near Mattawa: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 190 km distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dixon

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On Lac Dixon the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. A steady ripple beats flat calm on most days.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -13°C to 18°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Expect Lac Dixon to follow that timing.
