Harris Lake is a lake or pond in Ontario’s Fisheries Management Zone 8. Use this profile for recorded fish species, available lake measurements and fishing-zone information. Open the interactive map for live conditions and additional records.
Searching for a Harris Lake depth chart? The available Ontario MNRF source data reports a maximum depth of 7.9 metres. This is lake-profile reference data, not a navigational bathymetric contour chart.
Species come from MNRF survey records — absence of a record doesn't guarantee absence of the fish.
These techniques are based on fish species recorded for this waterbody, not a report of current conditions. Check the open season before targeting any species.
Walleye: Post-spawn fish stage on shoreline shoals and river mouths — jig and minnow in 1–3 m at dusk.
Northern Pike: Big fish cruise warming shallows right after ice-out — slow spoons and jerkbaits.
Yellow Perch: Spawning schools flood shallow weedy bays — small minnows under floats.
Walleye: Deep weedlines, humps and 6–12 m structure; troll worm harnesses or deep cranks, jig the breaks.
Northern Pike: Large pike slide to deep weedlines and cooler basins; the weedbeds still crawl with hammer-handles.
Yellow Perch: Weedlines and 5–10 m flats; drift small jigs tipped with worm until you hit the school.
Walleye: Feeding hard on big minnows along steep breaks; slow vertical jigging and glide baits shine.
Northern Pike: Trophy time: big rubber swimbaits and oversized spoons over dying weedbeds.
Yellow Perch: Big schools group on deep flats; double perch rigs with minnows.
Walleye: Classic ice fish — jigging spoons and a jig/minnow set line near bottom on shoals at dawn and dusk.
Northern Pike: Tip-ups with large dead baits (cisco, sucker) over green weeds in 2–5 m.
Yellow Perch: Premier ice fish: tungsten jigs and small spoons on basin flats — keep moving until you find them.
Recorded thermal regime: Cool-water. Use measured temperature at fishing depth—not only the surface reading—to decide where to start.
These are Ontario Fishing Access Point records within 15 km of the lake's mapped centre. A nearby point is not proof that it directly accesses this waterbody; confirm the route, ownership, fees and current conditions before travelling. Dataset snapshot: Aug 1, 2026.
The official dataset has no mapped fishing access point within 15 km of this lake centre. That does not establish that public access is unavailable.

No record matching this waterbody identifier appears in Ontario's recreational fish-stocking dataset from 2017 onward. This does not mean the lake was never stocked; older or differently identified records may exist.
