• Where to Fish on Roundabout Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across District Municipality of Muskoka, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Roundabout Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -11°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. The season on Roundabout Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Tom Lake, 1.4 km away. For Roundabout Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
