• Where to Fish on Fidele Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Charlotte County cover Atlantic salmon, alewife, rainbow smelt and American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Fidele Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -9°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Burnt Dam Lake, 0.4 km out. Nothing on Fidele Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
