Beaver Lake Fishing Guide, Frontenac County, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Beaver Lake in Frontenac County, Ontario. This is mixed forest country. The water covers some 14 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Around 2.1 km of margin, front to back. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Ontario listings. The town to know is Sharbot Lake, 7.2 km out. For a city, Kingston is 56 km off. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Frontenac County cover pumpkinseed, bluegill and rock bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Beaver Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 20°C at the top of summer and -10°C at the bottom of winter. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Anyone fishing Beaver Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is recorded parking some 230 m off. A campsite is mapped about 1.3 km away, which makes an early start easier. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Victoria Lake, 1.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
