Lower Beverley Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lower Beverley Lake is one of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville waters in Ontario. Country round the bank runs to lake country bush. At 8.59 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. Few waters listed in United Counties of Leeds and Grenville are bigger. Gananoque is the closest place, 30 km off. The big place round here is Kingston, 49 km distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lower Beverley Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in United Counties of Leeds and Grenville include pumpkinseed, bluegill and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Lower Beverley Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 20°C on average, January about -9°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. From about mid April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Lower Beverley Lake the season follows that pattern closely.
