• Where to Fish on Clubhouse Lake

Fish documented in Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and rock bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Clubhouse Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 20°C and January at -13°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Clubhouse Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Roubles Lake is 2.9 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Clubhouse Lake for certain.
