Sturgeon Lake (Kawartha Lakes, Trent Severn Canal),
Ontario Canada.

Back to Map Project List


Lake Description:
Sturgeon Lake is one of the Kawartha Lakes and also part of the Trent Severn Canal System that extends from the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, a distance of 386 kms (as the fish swims).  I know there are smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye (pickeral), and muskie in this lake.  Send me an email to tell me where to look for the fish based on the grid I have placed over the lake.  There is more information on Sturgeon Lake below the map.
Getting There:

Summer Dream Tours have done such a wonderful job of explaining how to get to the Kawartha Lakes from anywhere on the planet that I'll just make a link right to them.  You won't see the word Sturgeon Lake on the maps, but if you find Bobcaygeon you are in the neighbourhood.  Don't forget to come back to this page by clicking that BACK button.

Visitor Tips:

Mark Z..."D9- (the mouth of Emily Creek) this spot always produces lots of muskie by drifting down towards the bridge in the middle and casting white spinner baits along the cabbage beds, and if water level permits going under the bridge and fishing the stumps and slop of Emily Creek. 

C9 & C10 (straight out from Scotch line) there is a boat launch here and up around the island is a good spring and fall walleye spot where hair jigs ripped thru the weeds usually produces. 

J2, J3, K2 & K3 (in Goose bay) this is where the Scugog river joins Sturgeon lake and a hot spot for bass fishing, lots of tournament fishermen concentrate in this area as there is lots of slop and a good spot to throw rats and moss bosses around. 

F3 (the shoreline north of Long Beach marine) this is a good walleye spot as there are several humps out about 100 yards off shore and the depth is about 15 feet and fairly weedy, use jig/grub combo or hair jigs tipped with a minnow. "

Ray B says..."Smallmouth in J2..using plastic worms and floating crankbaits -- jitterbugs, etc.

Pickerel (call them Walleye if you want) in G2 and G3...using worms on spinners while drifting, or casting toward shore (be mindful of the recent weed beds while choosing your lure), or plastic worms on jigs. 

Cliff says..."I3 & J3 Muskie, walleye, and small mouth. Fish the weed line where the water depth changes from about 5 or 6 feet to about 8 to 10 feet deep for walleye and muskie. Fish holes in the weeds for small mouth."
