Fishing at Mullin Lake, Renfrew County, Ontario

• Overview

  Mullin Lake falls in Renfrew County, part of Ontario. The ground around here is lake country bush. The water measures roughly 2 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Renfrew County. You are 48 km from Deep River. Gatineau sits 202 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Mullin Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Renfrew County cover smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Mullin Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• 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 lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. At Mullin Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Quartz Lake, 0.9 km out. What applies at Mullin Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
