• Where to Fish on Upper Beverley Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in United Counties of Leeds and Grenville include pumpkinseed, bluegill, yellow perch, rock bass and northern pike. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Upper Beverley Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 20°C and January near -9°C on the long-run figures. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly mid December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan any trip to Upper Beverley Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lower Beverley Lake, 4.7 km away. Ask locally about Upper Beverley Lake if anything is unclear.
