Christie Lake near Sharbot Lake: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Frontenac County, Ontario, is where Christie Lake sits. It sits at 168 metres above sea level. Around 33 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Shoreline comes to about 3.0 km, small enough to learn in a day. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Ontario listings. 26 km away sits Sharbot Lake, the nearest town. Kingston sits 42 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Christie Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Frontenac County: pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Christie Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -10°C to 20°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to mid December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Christie Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Little Wolfe Lake is 1.8 km off. Rules at Christie Lake are worth checking on the day.
