• Where to Fish on Little Lemoine Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Sudbury cover smallmouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Take Little Lemoine Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -17°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Expect Little Lemoine Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground.
