Concession Lake Fishing in Peterborough County, Ontario

• Overview

  Out in Peterborough County, Ontario, sits Concession Lake. It lies 281 metres above sea level. Roughly 26 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. About 4.0 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Bobcaygeon sits 16 km from the bank. Then Fenelon Falls, 27 km, and Lakefield, 32 km. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Concession Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Peterborough County list rock bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass and muskellunge. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Concession Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 19°C on average, January about -10°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Concession Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lavery Lake, 2.2 km away. Check the current arrangement for Concession Lake.
