Robertson Lake Fishing Guide, Saint John County, New Brunswick

• Overview

  Saint John County in New Brunswick is where Robertson Lake sits. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Saint John County. Indiantown lies 1.9 km from the water. Millidgeville follows at 1.9 km, then North End at 2.1 km. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Robertson Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Saint John County cover alewife, Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt and American shad. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Robertson Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year August sits at 18°C and January at -8°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near mid December in autumn. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Robertson Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The nearest mapped parking is 640 m away, so the last stretch is on foot. A platform or pier sits within 1.5 km. Salmon and sea-run fish answer to spoons and spinners where lure fishing is allowed; check the method rules first. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Howe Lake at 2.6 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Robertson Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
