Cashen Lake Fishing in Parry Sound District, Ontario

• Overview

  Parry Sound District, Ontario, is where Cashen Lake sits. The water sits 336 metres up. Small at around 7 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Cashen Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Parry Sound District cover smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and northern pike. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Cashen Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -11°C for January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. From about late April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Cashen Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The water borders Monteith Forest Conservation Reserve, so expect the reserve rules to apply. 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. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Stanzel Lake at 1.3 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Cashen Lake before loading the car.
