Brewer Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Ontario, Brewer Lake falls inside Frontenac County. It stands 90 metres above sea level. At about 31 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Shoreline comes to about 2.9 km, small enough to learn in a day. For supplies, Gananoque is 15 km out. Elginburg/Silvers Corners/Shannons Corners is 18 km away, with Greenwood/St. Lawrence South at 19 km. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Brewer Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. 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. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Brewer Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -9°C to 20°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near mid December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Brewer Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Expect a 880 m walk in from where the car goes. There is a pier recorded roughly 980 m away. Facilities run to toilets 930 m from the water. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Dog Lake at 2.5 km is the sensible second choice. For Brewer Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
