Fishing at Little Camp Lake, Renfrew County, Ontario

• Overview

  Little Camp Lake falls in Renfrew County, part of Ontario. Elevation runs to 278 metres. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Renfrew County list. The town to know is Renfrew, 38 km out. For a city, Nepean is 97 km off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Little Camp Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, rock bass and brook trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Little Camp Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -12°C to 19°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Little Camp Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. 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. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Juniper Lake is 1.2 km distant. None of that is settled for Little Camp Lake in what we hold.
