Fishing at Round Lake, Lennox and Addington County, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Round Lake in Lennox and Addington County, Ontario. It sits in pine and birch. This is a pocket water of some 3 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Lennox and Addington County. Some 17 km away sits Tweed, the nearest settlement. For a city, Kingston is 63 km off. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass and bluegill. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Round Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 20°C and January reads -10°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Round Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. A slipway is marked about 1 km from here. You will be walking about 900 m from the nearest car park. There are picnic tables 1 km away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Little Mellon Lake, 0.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Round Lake is worth confirming on the day.
