The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Little Aurora Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -16°C to 17°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Aurora Lake at 1.9 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Little Aurora Lake before loading the car.
