Black Lake Fishing Guide, Frontenac County, Ontario

• Overview

  Black Lake lies in Frontenac County, in Ontario. The land about it is mixed forest. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Frontenac County. Sharbot Lake is the closest town at 34 km. Renfrew is 52 km away, with Perth at 55 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Black Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Frontenac County, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass and smallmouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Black Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -12°C in January up to 19°C in July. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Black Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Little Crag Lake sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. For Black Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
