• Where to Fish on Tub Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Work Tub Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 19°C; by January the average is down near -10°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Tub Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Storm Lake at 1 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Tub Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
