Kerr Lake near Fundy Shores: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  New Brunswick holds Kerr Lake, in Charlotte County. The bank is 192 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 2 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Charlotte County. Fundy Shores lies 25 km from the water. The nearest city of size is Dartmouth, 248 km away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Kerr Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Charlotte County include Atlantic salmon, alewife, rainbow smelt and American eel. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Kerr Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -10°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Kerr Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Disappointment Lake is 1.5 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Kerr Lake for certain.
