Moulton Lake Fishing in Parry Sound District, Ontario

• Overview

  Set in Parry Sound District, Ontario, this is Moulton Lake. This is rolling bush ground. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is a small entry by Parry Sound District standards. For a base, Parry Sound sits 39 km out. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 128 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Moulton Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Parry Sound District list smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and northern pike. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Moulton Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 19°C for July and -10°C for January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Moulton Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Robertson Lake, 1 km away. Treat access at Moulton Lake as something to verify.
