Greer Lake Fishing in Parry Sound District, Ontario

• Overview

  Greer Lake is a Parry Sound District water, in Ontario. The water sits 244 metres up. The water covers some 11 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 2.8 km, and most of it is walkable. Parry Sound is the closest place, 7.9 km off. Barrie sits 116 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Greer Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Greer Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -9°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. The season on Greer Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. 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. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Funston Lake at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Greer Lake as something to verify.
