Fishing Lamberts Lake in District Municipality of Muskoka, Ontario

• Overview

  Lamberts Lake belongs to District Municipality of Muskoka, Ontario. It sits at 324 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 10 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. A shoreline of some 1.8 km keeps the choices simple. Nearest place of any size is Huntsville, 19 km away. Barrie sits 101 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lamberts Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Work Lamberts Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -10°C at the bottom of winter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Lamberts Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Matthews Lake at 2.1 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lamberts Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
