Hubley Little Lake Fishing in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia

• Overview

  Hubley Little Lake sits in Halifax Regional Municipality, out in Nova Scotia. What surrounds it is rolling bush. Around 22 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Roughly 2.9 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. For a base, Upper Hammonds Plains sits 15 km out. Stillwater Lake lies 16 km off, Hubley another 18 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Hubley Little Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Halifax Regional Municipality list brook trout, alewife and rainbow smelt. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The near bank of Hubley Little Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Hubley Mill Lake, 1.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Hubley Little Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
