• Where to Fish on Mistry Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Lennox and Addington County: pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The near bank of Mistry Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -12°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly early December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Mistry Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Mud Lake sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Mistry Lake.
