Fishing Eddies Lake in Lennox and Addington County, Ontario

• Overview

  Eddies Lake sits in Lennox and Addington County, out in Ontario. The setting is pine and birch. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Lennox and Addington County list. You are 23 km from Tweed. Then Madoc, 28 km, and Sharbot Lake, 42 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Eddies Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Lennox and Addington County include pumpkinseed, rock bass and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The shape of Eddies Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -10°C and July at about 20°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The lid usually goes in mid April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It holds true on Eddies Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Jacksons Lake, 2.2 km away. Where Eddies Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
