Fishing on Loughborough Lake
Fishing has never been better than at Loughborough Lake, with over twenty miles of immaculate fishing potential; home to smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and northern pike fishing. Loughborough Lake has a depth of more than 100 feet in its West basin and has a limestone bottom that protects it from acid rain.
Loughborough Inn caters to all individuals looking to take advantage of one of the most impeccable fishing Ontario spots in the area, by providing exclusive fishing lodges & cabins for all sizes of fishing groups including weekend getaways and family vacation packages.
The lake is patrolled by the Ministry of Natural Resources wardens for enforcement of boating and fishing regulations.
On Loughborough Lake, the fishing season begins on the second Saturday of May for northern pike fishing and on the third Saturday in June for bass, while lake trout are in season year round.
Fishing open seasons can bring a tear of joy to any angler’s eye. Finally – a time free of confusing restrictions and amendments. The open water is calling and bounties of fish are yours for the taking, right?
Well, actually, not really.
About that term ‘open season’ – it’s actually a little misleading. Fishing open seasons, while more lax than most of the year, they still aren’t really ‘open’. There are still rules, regulations and stipulations that apply; they are simply less stringent than the rest of the year when fishing for certain species may be off-limits altogether. For example, anglers must still adhere to their licence and tag restrictions regardless of whether a species is open. Even during fishing open seasons, conservation anglers have to stick to their conservation limits and sport anglers need to stay within those restrictions – and ALL anglers must adhere to aggregate stipulations.
Local independent guides are available. If you wish, we can book one for you. Guides prepare a shore lunch from the days catch at one of several secluded spots on the lake.
