• Where to Fish on Restoule Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Treat Restoule Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 19°C and January about -12°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Plan any trip to Restoule Lake around it.
