Sharbot Lake, a spring-fed lake 120 km west of Ottawa, has great fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass, lake trout, northern pike, walleye, and pan fish. Yellow perch, bluegill and sunfish are also caught.

The lake was carved by glacial erosion into two distinct sections, east and west, connected by a navigable channel. Sharbot features roughly 100 islands that offer habitat conditions favoured by smallmouth bass. The eastern section reaches depths of 32 metres (105 feet), but the lake's average depth is just five metres (16 feet). The east section is where you will find lake trout, particularly as the weather warms, along with the sort of wetlands that are favoured by bass and walleye.

The lake's bass, northern pike and pan fish fisheries are sustained through hatchery stocking.
