There is roughly 2.6 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Nearest town is Eganville, 41 km off. Nepean is the closest city, 118 km away. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Leatherroot Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Lennox and Addington County names pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Leatherroot Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -12°C to 19°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near early December in autumn. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan any trip to Leatherroot Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Goods Lake sits 2.7 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Leatherroot Lake carry more weight than any list.
