• Where to Fish on Little Blueberry Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Timiskaming District cover brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Little Blueberry Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -16°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect Little Blueberry Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. The car has to stay 1.1 km away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Blueberry Lake at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Little Blueberry Lake if anything is unclear.
