Benny's Lake Fishing Guide, Frontenac County, Ontario

• Overview

  The Frontenac County entry here is Benny's Lake, in Ontario. It stands 275 metres above sea level. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Frontenac County are larger. Supplies mean a trip to Sharbot Lake, 39 km off. Then Tweed, 40 km, and Madoc, 42 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Benny's Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Frontenac County include pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass and smallmouth bass. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Benny's Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -11°C in January up to 19°C in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Benny's Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A car park sits roughly 260 m away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Tawny Pond, 0.3 km away. Treat access at Benny's Lake as something to verify.
