• Where to Fish on Killer Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Frontenac County include pumpkinseed, bluegill and rock bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Killer Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 19°C on average, January about -11°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Killer Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Rainy Lake at 1.6 km is the nearest alternative.
