Little Millar Lake Fishing near Renfrew, Ontario

• Overview

  Little Millar Lake lies in Renfrew County, in Ontario. Land around it is lake country bush. At 2 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Renfrew County. The closest town, Renfrew, is 31 km away. For a city, Nepean is 89 km off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Little Millar Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Renfrew County cover smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish Little Millar Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -12°C in January up to 19°C in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Little Millar Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Recorded parking is 1.1 km off, far enough to travel light. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Wabun Lake, 2 km away.
