• Where to Fish on Avis Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Avis Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -9°C to 19°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about early December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. It holds true on Avis Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Poag Lake at 2.3 km is the sensible second choice.
