Lake Anthony Fishing Guide, Charlotte County, New Brunswick

• Overview

  Lake Anthony is one of the Charlotte County listings for New Brunswick. The surroundings are rolling bush. Surface area is around 30 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Roughly 2.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Nearest place of any size is St. George, 18 km away. It is 257 km to Dartmouth, the nearest city. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Anthony

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public occurrence data for Charlotte County names Atlantic salmon, alewife, rainbow smelt, American eel and smallmouth bass. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Lake Anthony the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -9°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually goes in mid April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Expect Lake Anthony to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Bear Lake is 2 km distant. Nothing on Lake Anthony should be assumed from this page alone.
