Open biodiversity records for Parry Sound District list smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and northern pike. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Anyone new to Papukiwis Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -12°C on the long-run figures. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Papukiwis Lake.
