Little Indian Lake Fishing Guide, Kings County, New Brunswick

• Overview

  Little Indian Lake belongs to Kings County, New Brunswick. It lies 195 metres above sea level. The water covers some 11 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The bank runs about 1.4 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Nearest town is Grand Bay-Westfield, 12 km off. Dartmouth is the closest city, 235 km away. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Little Indian Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Kings County cover alewife, Atlantic salmon, yellow perch and brook trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Little Indian Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -10°C at the bottom of winter. 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 shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Little Indian Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Little Deer Lake at 2.2 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Little Indian Lake as something to verify.
