• Overview

  Parry Sound District in Ontario is where Green Island Lake sits. This is mixed forest ground. Surface area is around 37 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat.

The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Green Island Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged across Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Green Island Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -10°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Green Island Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Little Shawanaga Lake, 1.7 km away. Confirm access to Green Island Lake locally before you travel.
