• Where to Fish on Keneu Lake

Reported across Nipissing District: smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Keneu Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Eustache Lake is 1.1 km off. Ask locally about Keneu Lake if anything is unclear.
