• Where to Fish on Little Kedron Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Charlotte County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, alewife, rainbow smelt, American eel and smallmouth bass. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Little Kedron Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 19°C, the coldest about -10°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Little Kedron Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Big Kedron Lake, 3 km out. Confirm before you fish Little Kedron Lake.
