• Where to Fish on Fourteen Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Public occurrence data for Parry Sound District names smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Fourteen Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 18°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Fourteen Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is a pier recorded roughly 1 km away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Thirteen Lake, 0.8 km away. For Fourteen Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
