Long Island Lake Fishing in Queens County, New Brunswick

• Overview

  You will find Long Island Lake in Queens County, New Brunswick. The shore lies 23 km out. It runs to roughly 57 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. There is roughly 3.4 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. It lies lower than most water we list in New Brunswick. Arcadia lies 16 km from the water. Beyond it, Valley Waters at 20 km and Hampton at 24 km. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Long Island Lake

Species logged across Queens County include yellow perch, alewife, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel and rainbow smelt. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Long Island Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -9°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Anyone fishing Long Island Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Otnabog Lake, 5 km out. Where Long Island Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
