• Overview

  Kings County, New Brunswick, is where Puddington Lake sits. The land about it is rolling bush. Surface area runs to about 2 hectares — small enough to read in one session.

Near neighbours: Mill Pond out at 1.3 km, Waltons Lake roughly 1.6 km, Eastern Lake out at 2 km, Waddell Lake roughly 2.3 km and Jenkins Lake out at 3.4 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Puddington Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Kings County include alewife, Atlantic salmon, Atlantic cod and yellow perch. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Read Puddington Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 18°C at the top of summer and -9°C at the bottom of winter. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Time your trip to Puddington Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Mill Pond is 1.3 km off. Where Puddington Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
