• Where to Fish on Lamorie Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in District Municipality of Muskoka include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch and rock bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lamorie Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 19°C and January at -10°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at early December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Time your trip to Lamorie Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Little Lake sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Lamorie Lake locally before you travel.
