Windsor Lake Fishing in York, Ontario

• Overview

  You will find Windsor Lake in York, Ontario. Elevation runs to 329 metres. Small at around 3 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our York list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Ballantrae is 2.5 km out. After that come Whitchurch-Stouffville at 4.6 km and Stouffville at 6.7 km. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Windsor Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in York include yellow perch, pumpkinseed and rock bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Windsor Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 20°C and January reads -8°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. From about mid April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Windsor Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Boat services are 910 m out at the marina. Expect a 740 m walk in from where the car goes. Overnight stays are possible 1.4 km away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Musselman Lake at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. What applies at Windsor Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
