• Overview

It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Tully Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Queens County include yellow perch, alewife, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel and rainbow smelt. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Tully Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -9°C at the bottom of winter. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Expect Tully Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Square Lake, 1.4 km out. Nothing on Tully Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
