Fishing Bobs Lake in Frontenac County, Ontario

• Overview

  Ontario holds Bobs Lake, in Frontenac County. The bank is 261 metres above sea level. The water covers some 12 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 1.9 km, and most of it is walkable. You are 36 km from Sharbot Lake. Renfrew is 42 km away, with Perth at 46 km. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Bobs Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Frontenac County cover pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass and smallmouth bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Anyone new to Bobs Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 19°C and January near -11°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Bobs Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Kirkwood Lake, 1.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Bobs Lake locally before you travel.
