Fish documented in Parry Sound District include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -12°C in January up to 18°C in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Little Beaver Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Overnight stays are possible about 1 km out, where camping is mapped. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Beaver Lake is 1.3 km distant. Signs at Little Beaver Lake carry more weight than any list.
