Little Lapierre Lake near Greenstone: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Little Lapierre Lake is a Thunder Bay District water, Ontario side. It sits in spruce and muskeg. With some 18 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. With about 2.9 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. You are 18 km from Greenstone. After that come Geraldton at 32 km and Longlac at 60 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Little Lapierre Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Thunder Bay District names cisco, blackfin cisco and rainbow smelt. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Little Lapierre Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -20°C in January and 16°C in July. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Little Lapierre Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Eight Lake at 1.8 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Little Lapierre Lake before loading the car.
