Lake Lisgar, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Lake Lisgar in Oxford County, Ontario. The bank gives way to mixed forest. The water measures roughly 7 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Tillsonburg lies 1.1 km from the water. After that come Delhi at 19 km and Ingersoll at 22 km. Within easy reach: Spring Lake roughly 12 km, Quinton Drain just 12 km, Mud Lake roughly 17 km, Lake Whittaker just 19 km and Lake Hunger roughly 23 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Lisgar

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Oxford County, recorded fish include common carp, johnny darter and white sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Treat Lake Lisgar as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 21°C and January at -6°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early April. Break-up near early April, freeze-up near mid December: that is the shape of an average year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lake Lisgar.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. A car park lies 120 m away, so the walk in is short. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Spring Lake is 12 km off. What applies at Lake Lisgar may have changed since it was mapped.
