Roblin Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Prince Edward County, Ontario, is where Roblin Lake sits. The water sits 109 metres up. Around 87 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The full circuit measures close to 4.3 km on foot. Our Prince Edward County list holds plenty of bigger water. The nearest place of any size is Belleville, 12 km away. Kingston is the closest city, 78 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Roblin Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Prince Edward County include yellow perch, pumpkinseed and alewife. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Roblin Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 21°C at the top of summer and -7°C at the bottom of winter. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early April. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. It holds true on Roblin Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Consecon Lake, 7.8 km out. Confirm before you fish Roblin Lake.
