Fishing Fowle Lake in Charlotte County, New Brunswick

• Overview

  Fowle Lake belongs to Charlotte County, New Brunswick. The bank is 74 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 5 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Head to Fundy Shores, 16 km away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, Pennfield at 18 km and Eastern Charlotte at 22 km. Within a short run: Lake of the Hills at 2 km, Caribou Lake at about 2.9 km, Triconia Lake at 2.9 km, Goose Lake at about 3 km and Hawkins Lake at 3.5 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Fowle Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Charlotte County: Atlantic salmon, alewife and rainbow smelt. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Fowle Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -9°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about early December in an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That is the shape of the year on Fowle Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake of the Hills sits 2 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Fowle Lake for certain.
