• Where to Fish on Proulx Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Grahamdale, recorded fish include walleye, freshwater drum, nipigon cisco and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Read Proulx Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -20°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Proulx Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Mire Lake is 4.3 km off. Confirm access to Proulx Lake locally before you travel.
