• Where to Fish on Little Boy Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Timiskaming District records list brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Little Boy Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -17°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Little Boy Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A ramp is mapped within 1.2 km. There is camping recorded roughly 1.1 km off. Mapping records toilets within 810 m. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Old Man Lake sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Little Boy Lake is worth confirming on the day.
