• Where to Fish on Little Fox Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Lennox and Addington County include pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Little Fox Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 18°C in July and bottoms out near -12°C in January. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Little Fox Lake.
