• Where to Fish on Lonesome Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Lunenburg County include American eel, Atlantic whitefish and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Lonesome Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first.
