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

• Overview

  The Renfrew County end of Ontario holds Lulum Lake. It lies 411 metres above sea level. About 6 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Eganville is the closest place, 37 km off. Nepean sits 141 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lulum Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Lulum Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -13°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. On Lulum Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is a pier recorded roughly 180 m away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Bass Lake is 0.5 km off. None of that is settled for Lulum Lake in what we hold.
