Solid cloud cover today, with a busy SSW wind on the open water and the barometer holding steady. Most of the action on Burridge Lake should come off structure within a cast of the bank. If you must go, go in the morning. Treat it as a scouting trip with a rod in hand. Cooler water spreads fish back across the shallows.

In Ontario, Burridge Lake falls inside Frontenac County. It lies 161 metres above sea level. Around 93 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The margin runs to about 7.1 km in total. It is among the larger waters listed here for Frontenac County. The town to know is Sharbot Lake, 16 km out. It is 49 km to Kingston, the nearest city. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.
No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Frontenac County cover pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Read Burridge Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.
Expect July to average close to 20°C, with January the cold end at about -10°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid usually goes in mid April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. On Burridge Lake that shapes the whole year.
Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Bobs Lake at 3.2 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Burridge Lake are worth checking on the day.
