• Where to Fish on Camelot Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Reported across Nipissing District: smallmouth bass, cisco, yellow perch, pumpkinseed and rock bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Camelot Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 19°C for July and -12°C for January. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. On average, late April opens the water and early December closes it again. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Camelot Lake.
