Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Little Green Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -12°C and July at about 19°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. It sets the rhythm of the year at Little Green Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Marshall Lake, 3.4 km away. For Little Green Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
