• Overview

  Set in Saint John County, Lindy Lake is a New Brunswick water. The sea is 0.4 km distant. This is a pocket water of some 5 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank.

• Where to Fish on Lindy Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Saint John County, recorded fish include alewife, Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon and rainbow smelt. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Lindy Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -9°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and mid December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan any trip to Lindy Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Salmon and sea-run fish answer to spoons and spinners where lure fishing is allowed; check the method rules first. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Shadow Lake, 1.3 km away. Treat Lindy Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
