• Where to Fish on Little Stinson Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Ethelbert include Iowa darter, yellow perch, northern pike, white sucker and rainbow trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Little Stinson Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -19°C to 16°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Little Stinson Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Fisher Lake at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Little Stinson Lake for certain.
