• Where to Fish on Upper Mallard Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The near bank of Upper Mallard Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 19°C and January near -13°C on the long-run figures. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about late November in an average year. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Upper Mallard Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Norm's Lake, 2.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Upper Mallard Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
