• Where to Fish on Wauquimakog Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Parry Sound District: smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. At Wauquimakog Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 19°C for July and -11°C for January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Wauquimakog Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.
