• Where to Fish on Grants Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Lennox and Addington County: pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass and bluegill. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. At Grants Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -12°C to 18°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Time your trip to Grants Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground.
