The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Open biodiversity records for Westmorland County list brook trout, yellow perch, American eel and white perch. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Little Duck Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Big Duck Lake at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Little Duck Lake.
