Number Ten Lake Fishing Guide, Queens County, New Brunswick

• Overview

  Number Ten Lake is a Queens County water, in New Brunswick. The coast is 21 km away. Small at around 7 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. About 1.7 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Grand Bay-Westfield sits 16 km from the bank. The nearest city of size is Dartmouth, 239 km away. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Number Ten 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. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Queens County include yellow perch, alewife, pumpkinseed and chain pickerel. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Anyone new to Number Ten Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -10°C in January up to 18°C in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Time your trip to Number Ten Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Trout Lake, 2.3 km away.
