Granzies Lake Fishing Guide, Renfrew County, Ontario

• Overview

  This water sits in Renfrew County, Ontario. It stands 448 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 6 hectares — small enough to read in one session. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Ontario listings. 20 km away sits Eganville, the nearest town. Then Cobden, 40 km, and Pembroke, 46 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Granzies Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Granzies Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 19°C and January near -13°C on the long-run figures. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. At Granzies Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Foys Lake, 0.5 km out. Confirm access to Granzies Lake locally before you travel.
