Luckovitch Lake in Renfrew County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Luckovitch Lake is a Renfrew County water, in Ontario. The bank is 319 metres above sea level. At 9 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. A shoreline of some 1.4 km keeps the choices simple. Some 43 km away sits Eganville, the nearest settlement. Nepean sits 150 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Luckovitch Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Renfrew County, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and rock bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Luckovitch Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -13°C to 18°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It holds true on Luckovitch Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Pershick Lake is 1.1 km off. None of that is settled for Luckovitch Lake in what we hold.
