Fishing Lipscombe Lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario

• Overview

  Out in Parry Sound District, Ontario, sits Lipscombe Lake. It sits in mixed forest country. Around 18 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. About 3.2 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It is low-lying compared with other Ontario water we list. Start from Parry Sound, 6.2 km down the road. The big place round here is Barrie, 103 km distant. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lipscombe Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Take Lipscombe Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 19°C at the top of summer and -8°C at the bottom of winter. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around mid April. From about mid April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Lipscombe Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Barfoot Lake at 0.8 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lipscombe Lake.
