• Where to Fish on Little Moosehorn Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, Atlantic whitefish, yellow perch, chain pickerel and brown bullhead. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Treat Little Moosehorn Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Moosehorn Lake sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Little Moosehorn Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
