Fishing at Munsons Lake, Parry Sound District, Ontario

On size it sits at the modest end of our Parry Sound District list. For supplies, Parry Sound is 40 km out. South River is 50 km away, with Powassan at 62 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Munsons Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Parry Sound District, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Munsons Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -10°C and July at about 19°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Ice usually gives way near mid April, and forms again about early December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. On Munsons Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. McCabes Lake sits 0.4 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Munsons Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
