Lake of the Day August 7: Palmerston Lake, ON

A crystal-clear, spring-fed lake of about 5 km in length, Palmerston offers excellent fishing for smallmouth bass as well as lake trout and pan fish. Also referred to locally as Trout Lake, Palmerston used to have an excellent lake trout fishery but the fishing has dropped off over the years. A slot size was introduced to help conserve and revive the fishery. The Ministry of Natural Resources stocks the lake with lake trout and closes the fishing in winter, which has boosted the population in recent years. Lake herring, yellow perch and rock bass are also caught. For smallmouth bass, try casting a Rapala from shore. Palmerston Lake Bass Derby, a catch-and-release event, is held every year in late June. The lake is part of Fisheries Management Zone 18. LAKE ACCESS Palmerston is situated adjacent to the Lanark Highlands in North Frontenac, near the village of Ompah. The lake is a two-hour drive from Ottawa. Take Highway 7 past Perth and Silver Lake, and then turn right on Road 509, following the lake signs. A boat launch with parking is located near the dam on the north end of the lake at Palmerston/Canonto Conservation Area.
