On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Frontenac County include pumpkinseed, bluegill and rock bass. The county list is broader than any single water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Longstone Lake is 1 km off. Confirm before you fish Egg Lake.
