• Where to Fish on Robs Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The tide is the timetable on this water; two hours either side of the change usually fish hardest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Shelburne County, recorded fish include coalfish, Atlantic cod and American eel. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Robs Lake repays a walk before the first cast.
