Sunday Lake Fishing near Sharbot Lake, Ontario

• Overview

  Sunday Lake is one of the Frontenac County waters in Ontario. Beyond the shoreline you have mixed forest. The water covers some 54 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The perimeter runs near 6.7 km, so plan the walk before you start. Sharbot Lake at 30 km is the nearest place to stop. Further out sit Perth (44 km) and Renfrew (49 km). The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Sunday Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Frontenac County, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. At Sunday Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 19°C, while January sits near -11°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Anyone fishing Sunday Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Canonto Lake sits 3.2 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Sunday Lake as something to verify.
