Blueglass Lake Fishing Guide, Haliburton County, Ontario

• Overview

  Blueglass Lake is one of the Haliburton County waters in Ontario. It sits in rolling bush. With some 57 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. With 5.5 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. Some 31 km away sits Bracebridge, the nearest settlement. Barrie sits 98 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Blueglass Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Haliburton County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, rock bass and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Read Blueglass Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -11°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. It holds true on Blueglass Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Sprat Lake is 1.6 km distant. Signs at Blueglass Lake carry more weight than any list.
