Scully Lake near Renfrew: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Scully Lake is one of the Renfrew County listings for Ontario. The bank is 286 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 5 hectares — small enough to read in one session. You are 30 km from Renfrew. Beyond it, Eganville at 36 km and Cobden at 44 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout. Town sits southwest of the water.

• Where to Fish on Scully Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Scully Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 19°C in July and bottoms out near -12°C in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Scully Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Shiner Lake at 0.8 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Scully Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
