Newboro Lake near Perth: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Newboro Lake lies in United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Ontario. The bank gives way to mixed forest. Surface area runs to some 18.20 sq km, so a boat and a plan are both worth having. On our United Counties of Leeds and Grenville list it sits near the top for size. For supplies, Perth is 30 km out. Further out sit Sharbot Lake (33 km) and Gananoque (35 km). Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Newboro Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. United Counties of Leeds and Grenville records list pumpkinseed, bluegill, yellow perch and rock bass among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Newboro Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 20°C at the top of summer and -10°C at the bottom of winter. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly mid December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. The season on Newboro Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Clear Lake is 2.9 km distant. Nothing on Newboro Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
