Hatch outlook

Fall shiner runActive window

Typical here: Sep 1 – Oct 31 · same push on the Ontario side — Simcoe's shiners migrate shallow as the water cools, and the predators ride with them

adultdaylight for the jig bite; after dark the shiners stack under dock lights with walleyes and pike mixed right in — follow the bait, not the spot — millions of shiners move together and the predators ride with them; silver profile and flash matter

Concentrates hard but travels — the school (and the walleyes under it) can be off a river mouth one week and miles upriver the next.

Jig-and-minnow is the event's signature — a frozen emerald shiner on a 1/4 oz jig drifted along the run; silver jerkbaits and trolled crankbaits take the roaming fish; blade baits under the schools.

The event happens over river mouths and the first miles upriver, warming shallow shorelines, and rocky points where the displaced bait stacks

Fishing Maville Lake: what the data says

71-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 28 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.

The outline encloses 70 acres, worked by 1.9 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 73% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.7 mi, about 0.3 mi across. It sits in Sudbury District. If the bite dies, Birch Lake is 3 mi to the west.

Northern Pike fishing at Maville Lake

The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
