Harrow Lake near Sharpton/Glenvale: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Harrow Lake sits within Frontenac County in Ontario. The country here is mixed forest. Surface area runs to about 9 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It lies lower than most water we list in Ontario. You are 17 km from Sharpton/Glenvale. It is 30 km to Kingston, the nearest city. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Harrow Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Frontenac County, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, bluegill and rock bass. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Harrow Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 20°C and January about -9°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from mid April until about mid December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Anyone fishing Harrow Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Babcock Lake at 0.3 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Harrow Lake.
