• Where to Fish on Limburner Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across District Municipality of Muskoka include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Treat Limburner Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -11°C in January up to 18°C in July. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Limburner Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems.
