Giffins Lake Fishing in Lennox and Addington County, Ontario

Further out sit Renfrew (50 km) and Sharbot Lake (52 km). It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Giffins Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Lennox and Addington County, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, rock bass and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Giffins Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -12°C in January up to 19°C in July. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about early December in an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Giffins Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. 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. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Hutson Lake at 2.4 km is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Giffins Lake.
