• Where to Fish on Fox Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and rock bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Fox Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -12°C to 18°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Fox Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Dugan Lake sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow.
