• Where to Fish on Sixth Depot Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Lennox and Addington County names pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass and bluegill. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Sixth Depot Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is camping recorded roughly 480 m off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Big Sunfish Lake at 2 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Sixth Depot Lake before loading the car.
