Susana Lake Fishing in Thunder Bay District, Ontario

• Overview

  Susana Lake stands in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. It sits at 480 metres above sea level. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Thunder Bay District list holds plenty of bigger water. Grand Marais sits 44 km from the bank. For a city, Thunder Bay is 104 km off. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Susana Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Thunder Bay District: cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt. The county list is broader than any single water. Susana Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -15°C in January up to 18°C in July. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Susana Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping shows a campsite some 400 m from the water. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Little Gunflint Lake sits 1.3 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Susana Lake.
