Verona Lake Fishing in Frontenac County, Ontario

• Overview

  Verona Lake lies in Frontenac County, Ontario. The country here is mixed forest. It measures about 72 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. There is roughly 5.0 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. It lies lower than most water we list in Ontario. 18 km away sits Sharpton/Glenvale, the nearest town. Kingston sits 33 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Verona Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Frontenac County, recorded fish include pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Verona Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -9°C in January up to 20°C in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. It holds true on Verona Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Expect a 710 m walk in from where the car goes. Toilets are 360 m away, which matters on a long session. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Little Mud Lake, 0.9 km away. None of that is settled for Verona Lake in what we hold.
